Q

Koch’s postulates

A

Microorganism must be present in every case of disease

organism must be grown in pure culture from diseased host

Same disease must be produced when pure culture is introduced into susceptible hosts

organisms must be recovered from experimentally infected host

Q

Molecular koch’s postulate

A

modern day version that takes into account limitations

mutating gene in vitro to disrupt function should reduce virulence
reversion or replacement of gene should restore virulence
can test on an appropriate animal model of infection
