A pathogen or infectious agent would be a parasite, fungi, bacteria or virus that is bad for our health. One type of pathogen or infectious agent would be the common cold. You can prevent the spread of the common cold by washing hands with antimicrobial soap often and staying away from others who are sick. Doing this would greatly reduce the chance that you'd get sick, too.
