Pathogens and Disease
Biology
Key Points
• Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms called pathogens,
such as bacteria and viruses.
• Semmelweis recognised the importance of hand-washing in
preventing the spread of infectious diseases in hospital.
• Bacteria and viruses reproduce rapidly inside your body. Bacteria can
produce toxins which make you feel ill.
• Viruses damage your cells as they reproduce. This can also make you
feel ill.
