What did the scientist Koch discover?

Answer 1

Koch is best known for his research on pathogens (germs) and their role in disease. He formed several postulates that gave guidelines on how to determine if a specific pathogen caused a disease outbreak.

Koch's postulates are: # The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease. # The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture. # The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism. # The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.
