Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 4TY
Place the following steps in the correct order, according to Koch’s postulates:
I. Determine if pure cultures of bacteria cause disease symptoms when introduced to a healthy host.
II. Determine if disease symptoms correlate with presence of a suspected pathogen.
III. Isolate the suspected pathogen and grow it in pure culture, free of other possible pathogens.
IV. Attempt to isolate pathogen from second-infected hosts.
- a. II, III, IV, I
- b. II, IV, III, I
- c. Ill, II, I, IV
- d. II, III, I, IV
- e. I, II, III, IV

the following are the steps, listed in random order, for utilizing koch's postulates. what should be the second step out of the four listed?
a. a microorganism is found to be present in every case of a disease.
b. the same microbe discovered previously is isolated from the purposely infected host
c. the pathogen is isolated and grown in pure culture
d. the same disease results after isolated organism is inoculated into healthy host
What will pose an ethical issue in these procedures are performed - mutilation, sterilization?
Name two or more situations where Koch’s postulates are impossible to complete? In other words, what factors about a microbe or factors about a disease make it impossible for Koch's postulate to be performed with that microbe or disease?
