The non-pathogenic micro-organisms are considered to be normal flora. These grow in places like the throat and nose. They are 'expected' organisms and are not life threatening to most individuals.
Pathogenic micro-organisms are abnormal flora. In the above mentioned example, a throat culture that grows strep would be pathogenic and the doctor might therefore diagnose strep throat. It does not usually grow in that place.
Not all pathogenic organisms lead to life threatening conditions; however if a person's immune system is compromised even normal flora can be difficult to overcome.
Pathogenic means it is causative for a disease and non-pathogenic means it is harmless....eg: influenza is pathogenic.

How is pathogens and non-pathogens alike?
Pathogens and non-pathogens are alike in that they can both exist in various environments and interact with organisms. However, pathogens have the ability to cause disease in their hosts, while non-pathogens do not typically cause harm.
What are the Similarities between pathogen and non pathogen?
A pathogen is an organism that causes disease (they are PATHOlogy GENerators). A pathogen that does not cause disease is an oxymoron.
What is major difference between specfic and non specfic immunity?
Specific immunity follows a non-specific response. The major difference between specific and non-specific is the ability to remember pathogenic antigens. Specific immunity results in the production of memory cells which upon reinfection are used to effectivly remove the pathogen Non-specific cannot do this
Is a pathogen unicellular?
It depends, pathogens can be multicellular (cestoda, fungi), unicellular (bacteria) or they can have non-cellular build (viruses, prions).
What is a dead pathogen?
A dead pathogen refers to a microorganism, such as a virus or bacterium, that has been rendered inactive or non-viable, typically through methods like heat, radiation, or chemical treatment. These pathogens cannot cause disease but can still trigger an immune response, making them useful in vaccines. By introducing dead pathogens into the body, the immune system can learn to recognize and fight off the actual live pathogens if encountered in the future.
