Substantiv
pathogen - Any organism or substance, especially a microorganism, capable of causing disease, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi. Microorganisms are not considered to be pathogenic until they have reached a population size that is large enough to cause disease.

A pathogen, (from Greek πάθος pathos "suffering, passion", and γἰγνομαι gignomai "I give birth to") an infectious agent, or more commonly germ, is a biological agent that causes disease to its host. There are several substrates and pathways whereby pathogens can invade a host; the principal pathways have different episodic time frames, but soil contamination has the longest or most persistent potential for harboring a pathogen. The body contains many natural orders of defense against some of the common pathogens in the form of the human immune system and by some "helpful" bacteria present in the human body's normal flora.
