Fugal pathogens pose a serious threat to immunocompromised persons.
A wide variety of microbial pathogens that may pose a risk to human health are known to be abundant in the treated sewage and considered the major source of faecal contamination in aquatic ecosystems (Scott et al. 2003; Tyagi et al. 2006).
by Alan Zelicoff and Michael Bellomo is a comprehensive, yet succinct, account of the threat to public health posed by microbial pathogens.
Microbial pathogens and toxics can be present in CSOs at levels that pose risks to human health.
Microplastics have also been shown to attract microbial pathogens.

In many ways, this echoes work done over a century ago as scientists got to grips with how invisible microbial pathogens cause disease.
A current challenge in microbial pathogenesis is to identify biological control agents that may prevent and/or limit host invasion by microbial pathogens.
