Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce Able to cause disease; infective agents; pathogenic bacteria.Pertaining to properties similar to a [[pathogen.
pathogenic -- Organism which causes a disease within another organism.
pathology -- n. 1. The study of disease and abnormalities. 2. The manifestation of a disease, injury, or abnormality, as in bone or eggshell for example. adj. pathological ...
Pathogenicity islands are sections of a bacterial pathogen genome which contain clusters of genes required for virulence. . Sequencing has revealed their presence in a number of pathogens, as well as similarities across species boundaries.
Entomopathogenic: Insect-attacking organism.

pathogenic Producing or capable of producing disease.

Two examples:
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. In the U.S., this is one of the most common sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs).

coli Common bacterium that has been studied intensively by geneticists because of its small genome size, normal lack of pathogenicity, and ease of growth in the laboratory.
These include phagosomes formed by inanimate objects such as latex beads, or pathogenic bacteria, e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Scientists have identified more than one hundred species of pathogenic bacteria that can infect both humans and animals. As you might imagine, zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted to humans from other vertebrate hosts) are harder to eradicate.
There are bacteria that are bad, that we call pathogenic, and they will cause diseases, but there's also good bacteria.
An animal carrying a microorganism pathogenic for members of another species; the vector may or may not be essential for the completion of the life cycle of the pathogenic microorganism.
The study of pathogenic viral outbreaks is a branch of epidemiology and usually refers to virus outbreaks that make people, animals, or plants sick.
Bacillus thuringiensis: This bacteria is pathogenic to insects and the gene for its toxin is used to create transgenic plants with their own insecticide.
Bacteriophage: A virus that infects a bacterium.
Genus of unicellular organisms, some of which are pathogenic to man and animals. They are found living in close association with man, animals and their environments.
Evidence of horizontal gene transfer may be comparison with genomes from related nonpathogenic bacteria, or by flanking genes that suggest transfer via phage, conjugation, or transpositiion.
Harmful organisms may be accidentally produced. For example a genetically-engineered organism may be pathogenic or capable of causing ecological destruction.
When dendritic cells encounter foreign material, they also are phagocytic (eat the material), but have special receptors that allow them to distinguish harmless and pathogenic (disease causing) organisms.
non-spore forming rod shaped bacteria that fermet lactose in EC medium with gas production within 24h at 44.5 degrees C. A measure of bacteria mostly originating from guts that enter waters. Believed to be correlated with disease-causing (pathogenic) ...
Most other bacteria are heterotrophs and are important recyclers along with the fungi. Some of them are pathogenic but many are not. There are three basic shapes: rods (bacilli); spheres (cocci) and spirals (spirilli).
