What is considered pathogenic bacteria?

  1. Disease causing bacteria

  2. Friendly flora

  3. Bloodborne pathogens

  4. Environmental bacteria

The correct answer is: Disease causing bacteria

Pathogenic bacteria refer to bacteria species that are harmful to the body and can cause disease. This excludes friendly flora, as it refers to the beneficial bacteria that live in our bodies and do not cause harm. Bloodborne pathogens, while they can cause disease, are not exclusively pathogenic bacteria as they can also include viruses and other microorganisms. Environmental bacteria, while they can be harmful, are not specifically considered pathogenic as they do not typically cause disease in the body. Thus, the correct answer is A, disease causing bacteria.
