How do pathogens work?
Pathogens are disease-causing agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They invade the body and can disrupt normal cellular functions by releasing toxins, damaging tissues, and triggering immune responses. Pathogens can multiply and spread, leading to infectious diseases if not controlled by the immune system.

Are all pathogens living things?
The term pathogen is derived from the Greek παθογένεια, "birth of pain." or "that which produces suffering" and that's basically what a pathogen is. It is an agent that causes pain and suffering to its host through disease or illness. Put more simply, a pathogen is anything that causes a disease. The agents that cause these diseases are infectious microbes (more commonly known to people as germs or bugs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. There are many different types of these agents and not all of them are infectious or harmful. In fact the majority of them are harmless and some even beneficial. Therefore it is important to remember, that pathogens refer specifically to those agents that can cause disease, illness or harm to its host. So yes, in answer to the question. pathogens are harmful bacteria (but not just bacteria) that cause disease.
