Pathogens (Bacteria/Viruses)

Molecular classification
Bacteria, Viruses, Prokaryotic Organisms, Acellular Infectious Agents
01

Overview

Pathogens are microorganisms, specifically bacteria and viruses, that cause disease in their hosts. Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms, while viruses are acellular infectious agents that require host cells for replication. Pathogenicity arises from various mechanisms including adherence, immune evasion, toxin production, and host cell damage. The treatment of bacterial and viral infections presents unique challenges, including the emergence of resistance and the potential for adverse effects from therapeutic interventions.
