Chapter 4.4, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An organism that is known to cause disease is known as a pathogen and its tendency to cause disease is known as pathogenicity. A pathogen that invades and survives inside a host has some characteristics that are distinguishable from the non-pathogenic organisms. The pathogenicity can be enhanced due to the presence of locomotory organs.
