infectious agent
An infectious agent, also known as a pathogen, is a microorganism - such as a bacterium, virus, parasite, or fungus - that can cause disease or infection in its host. These agents have the capacity to replicate and spread from one organism to another, leading to various health problems. They invade the host's body and interfere with its normal function, potentially causing a serious response like an immune reaction or disease.
