Interesting question! "Yes" is the simple answer. It depends on where the bug is living. For example. E. coli is present in huge numbers in the gut and has no ill effects (except some strains such as o156) and is considered normal flora FOR THE GUT but if these bugs were to get into, saya wound and multiply, they would be considered pathogenic. Worse still if they got into the blood circulation in large numbers such as during an operation they could, if not treated with antibiotics, lead to a very serious case of sepsis
No, not all microorganisms are pathogenic. Many microorganisms are harmless or even beneficial to humans and the environment. Pathogenic microorganisms are the minority, causing diseases under certain conditions.
Stentor is not pathogenic to humans. It is a type of single-celled, freshwater protozoan that is mostly harmless and feeds on bacteria and other microorganisms in aquatic environments.
Salmonella is one of the most common pathogenic microorganisms in US foods, frequently causing foodborne illnesses. It is typically found in raw or undercooked poultry, eggs, and dairy products, among other sources.
No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.
Yes, antibiotics are medications that are capable of inhibiting the growth of or killing pathogenic bacterial microorganisms. They target specific pathways in the bacteria to disrupt their ability to survive and multiply, ultimately leading to their death. Antibiotics are a key tool in the treatment of bacterial infections.

pathogens transmit disease, non-pathogenic ones dont
pathogenic waste contains disease causing micro organisms. hospital waste usually contains infectious microorganisms.
Stentor is not pathogenic to humans. It is a type of single-celled, freshwater protozoan that is mostly harmless and feeds on bacteria and other microorganisms in aquatic environments.
Germ theory
mostly other pathogens kill pathogens
they are pathogenic and cause diseases some of which are very leathal and epidemic
no that is the germ theory.

The organisms that are in your intestines are not normally pathogenic but can be if they get into the wrong places such as your urinary tract or inside your body cavity if you have a ruptured appendix.
If the person who licked spoon is a carrier of pathogenic microorganisms, the food would become contaminated. These microbes could then be ingested by other people, causing them illness.
The concern is that the food could get warm enough that it would start growing pathogenic microorganisms.
