The general public takes for granted the link between an infectious agent and a given infection Discuss the requirements established by Koch, the nineteenth-century German scientist, before ascertaining, for instance, that Helicobacter pylori bacterium is the cause of the gastric ulcer. Why is it so essential to meet these conditions?

Mutant strains of Helicobacter pylori that lack the ability to produce urease fail to cause infection when they are swallowed. Infection occurs, however, if a tube is used to introduce them directly into the layer of mucus that overlies the stomach epithelium. What does this imply about the role of urease in the bacterium’s pathogenicity?
The listeriosis outbreak during 2017 and 2018 in South Africa was attributed to the consumptionof deli products such as polony and viennas. In your view, what possible factors attributed to theoutbreak?

In 2005, J. Robin Warren and Barry J. Marshall shared theNobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the bacteriumHelicobacter pylori and for establishing experimental proofthat it plays a major role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.The story began when Warren, a pathologist, noticed thatbacilli were associated with the tissues taken from patientssuffering from ulcers. Look up the history of this case and describeWarren’s first hypothesis. What sorts of evidence did ittake to create a credible theory based on it?

I am having trouble understanding and explaining how I should explain this in lamen terms and which sources can be used to help. Report on : Enterobacter aerogenes Part II – Describe the purpose of identifying unknown bacterial cultures in medical field. Name the step by step experiments/procedures that microbiologists follow in order to identify microorganisms. Part III - MethodsIn this section you are describing in detail all the tests that is done to identify the unknown organism. Gram Stain: Explain differences between gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Why One group will end up being purple and another group will be a different color. Very briefly describe the steps of Gram stain. Describe the appearance of your organism under the microscope (shape, color). Tests to identify Gram-negative organisms: List the name of organisms that you are considering. Describe all the tests in the logical and orderly manner. Start by writing the chemical equations; (ALL OF THE CHEMICAL…
