Definitions and meaning of pathogen

pathogen

Etymology

From patho- +‎ -gen.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈpæθəd͡ʒn̩/
  • Hyphenation: path‧o‧gen

Noun

pathogen (plural pathogens)

  1. (pathology, immunology) An agent that can cause disease, especially an infectious microorganism, such as a bacterium, virus, protozoon or fungus.
    Synonym: infectious agent

Usage notes

In most contexts, the term pathogen is exclusively applied to infectious microorganisms, including viruses, and does not cover harmful substances such as asbestos or various toxins. Some authors reserve the term for the microorganisms that are the actual cause of an observed case of disease, so in this usage the same microorganism that is pathogenic in one host may not be categorized as a pathogen in another infected host.
