Types of Pathogens and Diseases They Cause Preventing Infection Lesson Summary FAQs Activities What is a pathogenic disease? A pathogenic disease is a state that the body gets into when a pathogen infects a body, causing dis-ease. There are many different disease-causing pathogens, including ...
Bacteria and viruses are different types of pathogens, organisms that can cause disease. Bacteria are larger than viruses and are capable of reproducing on their own. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cannot reproduce on their own. Instead, viruses reproduce by infecting a host and using...
Those chemical markers can identify foreign bodies like pathogens - small organisms, such a virus or bacteria, that can cause disease. The variety of blood types seems to be a result of different bodily responses to different di...
Depending on the disease, STDs can be spread with any type of sexual activity. STDs are most often caused by viruses and bacteria. The following is a list of the most common STDs, their causes. Additionally, there are other infections (see STDs with asterisk mark*) that may be transmitted...

Pathogens are organisms that can cause disease. One of the most well known pathogens is the SARS-CoV2 virus that causes the Covid-19 illness and is the cause of the 2020 pandemic. Humans have an immune system that protects the body against pathogens. However, there are actions people can ...
Step-by-Step Solution:1. Introduction to Immunity: - Immunity refers to the ability of an organism to resist harmful microorganisms or pathogens that can cause disease. The immune system is responsible for p
Other types of viruses which cause systemic infections and may lead to hepatitis includes : Herpes simplex virus(HSV) Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) Cytomegalovirus(CMV) Yellow fever virus Other Infections That Cause Hepatitis Hepatitis caused by other pathogens like bacteria, parasites and fungi are uncommon...
A decrease in self-tolerance can cause various autoimmune diseases. The immune system’s ability to distinguish pathogens from self-antigens is critical to the functionality of its infection protections. When the immune system fails to tolerate self-cells, the body will go into an autoimmune state...
Acinetobacter baumannii emerged as one of the most important pathogens that causes nosocomial infections due to its increased multidrug resistance. Identifying capsular epidemiology in A. baumannii can aid in the development of effective treatments and preventive measures against this emerging pathogen. Here...
