It is one that causes a disease or, in a few cases, a disorder. Pathos = Ill. Genic = origin.
A pathogen = a virus. An organism, macro or micro, is alive, but viruses cannot technically be considered 'living.' Thus, non-pathogenic means 'not a virus'.
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
Pathogenic.
Anything that causes disease is considered to be pathogenic. This includes viruses and bacteria. People who come in contact with certain of these organisms may become very ill.
Pathogenic staphylococci can cause infections in humans, while non-pathogenic strains do not typically cause harm. Pathogenic strains often produce toxins and enzymes that contribute to disease, while non-pathogenic strains lack these virulence factors. Additionally, pathogenic strains are more likely to be antibiotic resistant compared to non-pathogenic strains.
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
A Virus IS a type of Pathogen.
yep
The pathogenic organisms are not considered animals at all. The three pathogenic organisms are virus, bacterium, and fungus. All of these can potentially cause illness in animals and humans.
Pathogenic means "having the ability to cause disease".
A pathogen = a virus. An organism, macro or micro, is alive, but viruses cannot technically be considered 'living.' Thus, non-pathogenic means 'not a virus'.
Mumps is caused by a virus, so it is a pathogenic disease.
The highly pathogenic H5N1 virus was first isolated in terns in South Africa in 1961, and then in Hong Kong in 1997.
HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus *HIV is not a pathogenic organism, but a virus. To be an organism it must be able to replicate on its own, which it cannot. It needs a host to do so.
A virus that infects and causes harm to its host is called a pathogenic virus. These viruses can lead to various diseases by disrupting normal cellular functions, triggering immune responses, or causing cell death. Examples include the influenza virus, HIV, and the Ebola virus. Pathogenic viruses can vary in severity, with some causing mild symptoms while others can be life-threatening.

One of them is pathogenic ... that is, it produces disease... and the other one doesn't. The answer is more or less contained in the question. The reason one produces a disease and the other doesn't has to do with the precise details of each, and cannot be answered generally. Some viruses are pathogenic in a particular species and harmless in others; other viruses affect entire classes of organisms (for example, pretty much all mammals can get rabies).
