What does it mean that a microorganism is non-pathogenic?
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'.
What does it means to be a pathogenic organism?
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
What is a synonym for disease causing?
Pathogenic.
Are viruses pathogen?
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.
What is the difference between pathogenic staphylococci from non-pathogenic strains?
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.
What is the difference between a pathogenic bacteria and a virus?
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
Is a virus pathogenic?

What is a virus called that infects and causes harm to its host?
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.
What does it means to be a pathogenic organism?
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
What is the difference between a pathogenic virus and a harmless one?
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).
