I was running a review session for my #Bio350 #Micronauts yesterday. We were discussing how diptheria toxin works. I called Corynebacterium diptheriae a pathogen. Students laughed and exclaimed "Don't let @ACasadevall1 hear you!" #MissonAccomplished #Pathogone @ASMicrobiology
@NoahFierer I have been influenced by @ACasadevall1's essay on "pathogenicity" being wholly contextual and misleading. I had #Micronauts look for evidence of this, and use the hashtag #Pathogone.
As I am grading #Bio350 Exam #1, I did my best to teach my #Micronauts the point of view of @ACasadevall1 about pathogens. #Pathogone #ContextIsEverything @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
We loved @ACasadevall1 paper arguing the word "pathogen" was improper in my #Bio350 course.

One of my #Micronauts even came up with a hashtag: #PathoGone to suggest we need to change how we think, and what words we use. @ASMicrobiology @univpugetsound
@surt_lab @KlassenLab Like the real estate agents say: "location, location, location." We need to say "CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT." I'm with @ACasadevall1 on this one. A #Bio350 #Micronaut came up with the term #pathogone after reading Arturo's essay.
Are we fighting pathogens, or are we fighting ourselves? The pathogens need a host to cause disease, so maybe we, humans are the problem? Instead of killing all pathogens and making them #pathogone, we need an alternative!! #bio350 @markowenmartin
If we want to expand our knowledge of benign and harmful microbes, the term pathogen should be #pathogone. It inhibits the way microbes/“pathogens” can be studied by pigeonholing their functions as solely harmful to people. :( @markowenmartin #Bio350
Great comments at #pathogone. Thanks @markowenmartin for kind words. One way to get out of the pathogen, pathobiont, commensal morass is to assume that all microbes have some pathogenic potential (PP) even if very small. PP can be calculated as follows https://t.co/ZFAv94aVue ….
Hey, @ACasadevall1! I had my #Bio350 #Micronauts read your paper about the term "pathogen." Look for their thoughts with the hashtag #pathogone . Thanks for a great discussion paper. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

Casadeval’s goal is to change the focus of disease research to BOTH microbial & host variables but getting rid of “pathogen” won’t change that. In real life it’s not just one variable changing, so maybe scientists are the ones who need to change... #pathogone @markowenmartin
Even pathogens have feelings, right @markowenmartin? Would a pathogen by any other name smell as sweet? "Pathogenic interaction" may be more accurate, but just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. #Pathogone #Bio350
For someone going into infectious disease, reading Arturo Casadevall’s essay on the term “pathogen” was intriguing. I had never quite considered all of the inadequacies the word held... how do we define “pathogen?” Because there are always acceptions.
