58
Q

French Scientist ______questioned…

A

Sir Louis Pasteur

59
Q

-______ prepared a nutrient broth similar to the broth one would use in a soup

• He placed equal amounts of broth into two long neck flasks–he left one flash with a straight neck, the other he bent to form an S shape
• He boiled the broth in each flask to kill any living matter in the liquid.
• The sterile broths were then left to sit at room temperature and exposed to the air in their open mouth flask
• After several weeks, he observed that the broth in the straight neck flask was discolored and cloudy, while the broth in the curved neck flask had not changed.

A

Louis Pasteur

60
Q

The conclusion was germs come from other germs and do not spontaneously generate.
If spontaneous generation had been a real phenomenon, he argued, broth in the curved neck flask would have actually been infected because the germs would have spontaneously generated.

Developed in the 19th century,_____ are the four criteria designed to assess whether a microorganism causes a disease

A

Robert Koch’s postulates

79
Q

Robert Koch’s postulates

FOUR CRITERIA

A
  1. The microorganism must be found in the deceased, but not in healthy individuals
  2. The microorganism must be cultured from the deceased individual
  3. Inoculation of a healthy individual with a cultured microorganism must recapitulate the disease
  4. The microorganism must be isolated from the inoculated
    Deceased individual and match to the original microorganism
80
Q

EXCEPTIONS TO KOCH’S POSTULATES

A
  1. Many healthy people carry pathogens but do not exhibit symptoms of the disease.
  2. Some microbes are very difficult or impossible to grow on artificial media.
  3. To induce a disease from a pure culture, the experimental animal must be susceptible to the pathogen.
  4. Certain diseases develop only when an opportunistic pathogen invades a weakened host.
