True Pathogen- are capable of causing disease in healthy persons with normal immune defenses ex. influenza virus, plague bacillus, and ect
Opportunistic pathogen- cause disease when the host's defenses are compromised or when they grow in part of the body that is not natural to them
An opportunistic infection is a pathogen that only causes disease in a host with a weakened immune system or other underlying condition. These infections take advantage of the weakened state of the host to cause illness.
The term for a non-pathogenic organism that becomes pathogenic is "opportunistic pathogen." These are organisms that normally do not cause disease but can become pathogenic under certain conditions, such as when the host is immunocompromised.
Primary Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases in healthy individual. Opportunistic Pathogens are the microorganisms that are ordinarily in contact with the host and cause disease when the host's resistance is low.
Fungi tends to prefer temperatures that are below human body temperature, and to be in darker and moister areas than many tissues in the human body. Without a compromised immune system or other debilitation of the human, fungi generally are not able to survive in humans or cause an infection.
A true pathogen is a microorganism that can cause disease in healthy individuals with normal immune systems. Examples include certain types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that are capable of causing illness without the need for any predisposing conditions.
