Koch’s Postulates - Series of steps to determine if a specific organism causes a certain disease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Developed 4 criteria for determining disease causing microbes from studying Anthrax |
|
|
Term
1.The microbe is found in all cases of disease, but absent from healthy individuals •HIV does not follow this. The symptoms are all different from person to person. The incubation period for this is so long these postulates would be impossible to determine •Streptococcus lies dormant in some people. This can be passed to someone else and infect them. Also, if immune system decreases then dormant can become and infection
2.The microbe is isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture •Some bacteria cannot be grown in a lab
3.When the microbe is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host, the same disease occurs
4.The same strain of microbe is obtained from the newly diseased host and cultured to see if we get the same microbe |
