Are all pathogens living things?
The term pathogen is derived from the Greek παθογένεια, "birth of pain." or "that which produces suffering" and that's basically what a pathogen is. It is an agent that causes pain and suffering to its host through disease or illness. Put more simply, a pathogen is anything that causes a disease. The agents that cause these diseases are infectious microbes (more commonly known to people as germs or bugs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. There are many different types of these agents and not all of them are infectious or harmful. In fact the majority of them are harmless and some even beneficial. Therefore it is important to remember, that pathogens refer specifically to those agents that can cause disease, illness or harm to its host. So yes, in answer to the question. pathogens are harmful bacteria (but not just bacteria) that cause disease.

Plants are affected and, in extreme circumstances killed, by the same range of parasites and pathogens that cause diseases and disorders in animals and man, though the number of parasites in the various groups is probably different. (It's difficult to be certain as the presence of some pathogens or parasites is difficult to detect without sophisticated diagnosis and there are a great many plant species.) The commonest pathogens are fungi (mainly microfungi) and viruses, followed by bacteria and phytoplasmata (primitive bacteria with small cells and lacking a cell wall). Depending on your definition of parasite, many arthropods (insects, mites) and nematodes feed on and in plants causing various degrees of damage and, incidentally, often acting as vectors or facilitators for the ingress of the microorganisms listed above.
