Description

Microorganisms are small living organisms. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Microorganisms are bacteria, fungi, archaea, or protists. The term microorganism does not include viruses or prions, which are generally classified as non-living. Pathogens are organisms that cause disease. Our body is naturally full of microbes. However, these microbes only cause problems when the immune system is weakened or when they invade a normally sterile part of the body. Pathogens are different and can cause disease once they enter the body. A host is all that a pathogen needs to survive. Once established within a host, pathogens evade the body's immune response and use the body's resources to replicate before spreading to new hosts. Pathogens can be transmitted in different ways depending on the type. They can be spread by skin contact, body fluids, airborne particles, face contact, and touching surfaces touched by an infected person. A comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between hosts and pathogens will improve our ability to develop new preventive and therapeutic measures against infections.

A precise taxonomy of infectious agents with respect to their infectious lifestyle and the corresponding virulence implications within the host is necessary, as clear concepts are essential to designing fruitful studies. Classically, pathogenic bacteria are divided into extracellular, facultative intracellular and obligate intracellular. It is based on discrepancies and exaggerates the ability of infectious agents to replicate in vitro in cell-free media or extracellular which is relevant to life and virulence in vivo. When living as pathogens in association with a host, what is microbiologically relevant is not the ability to grow in an artificial cellular bacterial medium or environmental niche, but rather that an intracellular infectious agent is added to the stage of intracellular growth, behind its label, can also live extracellular in the natural environment of the host's extracellular region.

Pathogens can cause a wide variety of diseases with varying degrees of severity and modes of transmission. Pathogens have the ability to make us sick, but if our bodies are healthy, they can fight against pathogens and the diseases they cause. Bacterial species can be classified into different pathogenic categories. Biohazard classes 1-4 are typically catalogued, ranging from "generally recognized as safe" to highly invasive species.

However, current international lists do not always match. Here we present a meta-analysis of nine such rankings. It contains pathogenicity assessments of approximately 2500 bacterial species, mostly based on consensus among different lists. Ambiguities between the lists were identified in 260 species, which were resolved through a literature survey and interviews with prominent experts in the field. Here, we present a consensus list of 2575 species and genera along with their associated biosafety classifications. This list should be an important resource for future risk assessment of experimental procedures involving one or more of the listed species or genera.
