A

Robert Koch

25
Steps in Koch's Postulates
1. Isolated from a dead animal 2a. Grown in culture 2b. Identified 3. Injected in healthy animal 4. Disease reproduced in 2nd animal 5a. Grown again 5b. Identified again
26
Koch's Postulates
1. The suspected pathogenic organism should be present in all cases of disease, absent in healthy. 2. Suspected should be grown in pure culture 3. Cells from pure culture should cause disease in healthy animal 4. Then, should be reisolated and cultured same
