The germ theory of disease states that the cause of a disease is ‘germs’ or pathogens. This theory is the most accepted scientific theory for a number of diseases. Germs indicated in the theory refers to a pathogen such as a bacterium as well as any microorganism or non-living pathogen that has the ability to cause diseases such as fungi, protists, viruses, viroids, and virions. These pathogens invade the host body and replicate. The growth and reproduction lead to disease in the host.
