Pathogens and non-pathogens are alike in that they can both exist in various environments and interact with organisms. However, pathogens have the ability to cause disease in their hosts, while non-pathogens do not typically cause harm.

Pathogens and non-pathogens are not alike, as one is a type of bacteria/illness inside your body when a non-pathogen is not inside your body and it is not an illness or a bacteria.
