Question

. Why do we need to classify pathogens? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteria are classified and identified to distinguish one organism from another and to group similar organisms by criteria of interest to microbiologists or other scientists. The most important level of this type of classification is the species level. A species name should mean the same thing to everyone.

Answer 2

Answer:

Each type of pathogen has different ways of dividing and behaving. Thus, there are different medicines for each type. So, to make it easier to distinguish between them and find the right remedy, they are classified into various types.
