What types of pathogens are alive?
Only certain types of pathogens are considered alive, primarily those that are cellular in nature, such as bacteria and fungi. These organisms exhibit characteristics of life, including metabolism, growth, and reproduction. In contrast, viruses, which are composed of genetic material encased in a protein coat, are not classified as living organisms because they cannot reproduce or carry out metabolic processes without a host cell. Therefore, only bacteria and fungi among pathogens are classified as alive.
