Pathogen Testing
A pathogen is a microorganism or agent that causes disease or illness in its host organism. Pathogens can be various types of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and prions. They are responsible for a wide range of infectious diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Here are some key points about pathogens:
Types of Pathogens
Bacteria
Single-celled microorganisms that can cause bacterial infections.
Viruses
Tiny infectious agents composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. They require a host cell to replicate.
Fungi
Microorganisms that include yeasts and molds, which can cause fungal infections.
Parasites
Organisms that live on or in a host organism, where they obtain nutrients and can cause various diseases. Examples include protozoa, helminths (worms), and ectoparasites like ticks and fleas.
Prions
Abnormal protein molecules that can cause certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
