Virus
Pathogens are any organisms that can cause disease in humans; this includes a variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi and proteinaceous infectious material (such as prions). By definition, a human becomes infected with a pathogen through exposure and potentially develops disease related to that infection with a pathogen.
Clostridium botulinum is a pathogen that can grow in improperly heated foods. This bacterium produces a toxin that can cause botulism, a potentially serious illness that can result in muscle paralysis and even death. It is essential to properly heat and handle foods to prevent the growth of this pathogen.
If a single cell pathogen entered a culture dish, it may replicate and grow rapidly if conditions are favorable for its growth. This could lead to contamination of the culture dish, affecting the growth of the intended cells and potentially compromising experimental results. Containment and proper sterilization protocols are important to prevent such contamination.
The dimention
Cholera is a bacterial pathogen caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It infects the small intestine and can lead to severe dehydration and potentially life-threatening diarrhea if left untreated. Cholera is typically spread through contaminated water or food.
pathogen means microorganism, so pathogen diseases means diseases caused by microorganisms
An avirulent pathogen is a pathogen that is unable to cause disease in its host. This may be due to mutations that have reduced its ability to infect or harm the host, making it less pathogenic compared to a virulent pathogen.
If a pathogen crosses the second line of defense, which includes innate immune responses like inflammation and phagocytosis, the body activates the adaptive immune system. This involves the activation of lymphocytes, such as T cells and B cells, which specifically target and eliminate the pathogen. The adaptive response also generates memory cells, providing long-lasting immunity against future infections by the same pathogen. If the adaptive immune response fails, the infection can progress and potentially lead to illness.
You have to specify the pathogen.
There are infinitely many things that do not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen. Elvis does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen.
"Pathogen" in Spanish is "patógeno".
Pathogen - film - was created in 2006.
