4 KOCH’S POSTULATES

A
  1. microorganism must be present in every instance of the disease and absent from healthy individuals.
  2. microorganism must be capable of being isolated and grown in pure culture.
  3. When the microorganism is inoculated into a healthy host, the same disease condition must result.
  4. The same microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host.
