Pathogenicity of Microbes


The tendency of an organism to cause disease is referred to as pathogenicity (ie, harm the host). The overt damage done to the host is a property of the host-pathogen relationships, and this capacity represents a genetic component of the pathogen. This innate propensity to inflict disease is absent in commensals and opportunistic pathogens. Disease is not, however, an unavoidable result of the host-pathogen relationship.
