Inside the cell wall lies a plasma membrane that controls

quickly, disrupting the cell's activities. Toxins produced
by the bacterium will then be released into this cell,

generating a toxic immunological reaction. Commented [SC2]: This provides limited scientific

pathogen
Viruses are made up of DNA or RNA, both of which
contain genetic information and are coated with protein.
Once infected, viruses invade the body's host cells and
proliferate using the host cells' components, resulting in

pathogen have finished multiplying, they are discharged from the
host cell, causing the infected cells to be harmed or
killed. Viruses typically remain dormant for a lengthy
period of time before beginning proliferation. This will

illness unwell once more. Antibiotics are useless in
treating viral illnesses because they cannot kill viruses.
However, antiviral medicine may be provided depending
on the infection.
