Answers:
The short answer is: any bacteria that gets into an area that it normally doesn't belong and causes an infection. ie. intestinal bacteria is very beneficial for breaking down and helping you digest food but if a few of them get into your bladder or a cut in your skin then it is a pathogen. Same thing goes for environmental bacteria. ie. the bacteria that causes tetnus doesn't cause any problems in its natural habitat, the soil, but if it gets in a cut then you have a problem.
Lastly, there are always exceptions to every rule. Staph. aureus and Strep. A (pyogenes) are always pathogens when isolated. Probably some others as well, but that is all that I can think of at the moment.
I hope I helped some
