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. There has been an increasing tendency to shorten "pathogenic organism" to "pathogen" and this has progressively distorted the generally accepted meaning and various dictionary definitions of "pathogen". This is evident in the various extant definitions of "pathogen".

How does your body respond differently the second time it is exsposed to a pathogen than the first time it was exposed to the same pathogen?
During the second exposure to a pathogen, the immune system can mount a quicker and more targeted response due to immunological memory. This is because the immune system has already encountered the pathogen before and has memory cells ready to recognize and respond more efficiently to the pathogen. This results in a faster and more effective clearance of the pathogen from the body.
