A pathogen.
A pathogen is ANY agent that leads to pathology (full stop - end of description). Pathology is damage or disease affecting a living organism. This is most often restricted to the bodies of animals and plants, but, logically, it need not be exclusive to these two kingdoms.

This is evident in the various extant definitions of "pathogen".
