By definition, a pathogen is anything that is capable of causing disease. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc.
Pathogens can enter the body through various ways:
- Through breaks in the skin. Although the skin is a great barrier to pathogens, if the skin is breached in some way (ex. cut, burn), pathogens can get in.
- Via open cavaties of the body (ex. mouth, nose, ears, eyes, vagina).
What else can I help you with?
How can bacteria be both pathogenic and non pathogenic?
No. Almost all bacteria are not. There are bacteria everywhere performing essential functions like breaking down dead animals and plants. Bacteria are essential to health helping digest food and preventing pathogenic bacteria from getting out of control.
Are most pathogenic bacteria gram-negative?
No, not all pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative. Pathogenic bacteria can be either gram-negative or gram-positive, depending on their cell wall structure. Some common gram-negative pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Neisseria meningitidis, while some gram-positive pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.
What is the medical term meaning disease-causing bacteria?
The medical term for disease-causing bacteria is "pathogenic bacteria." These bacteria have the ability to cause infections and illness in the body.

Bacteria that causes disease are called?
Pathogenic bacteria.
Can Non pathogenic bacteria change to pathogenic?
yes
Where do pathogenic bacteria usually live?
In the body, and in the food, and some plants.
Are most bacteria beneficial pathogenic or anaerobic?
Firstly, pathogenic is not the opposite of anaerobic. The vast majority of bacteria are non-pathogenic, but this doesn't mean they are anaerobic.
What is the difference between pathogenic bacteria and non pathogenic bacteria?
"Pathogen" is something that gives rise to disease or infection. There are bacteria that do not do these things though, such as the culture in yogurt or the E.coli already residing in your stomach.
What was 'transformed' in Griffith's experiment?
In Griffith's experiment, non-pathogenic bacteria were transformed into pathogenic bacteria by being exposed to heat-killed pathogenic bacteria, a process now known as transformation. This led to the discovery of genetic material transfer between bacteria.
Are most pathogenic bacteria gram-negative?
No, not all pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative. Pathogenic bacteria can be either gram-negative or gram-positive, depending on their cell wall structure. Some common gram-negative pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Neisseria meningitidis, while some gram-positive pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.
