4 Identifying the infectious agent – Koch’s postulates 1.Association – It must always be present in every case – but not in healthy animals. 2.Isolation – It must be isolated from the sick animal into pure culture. 3.Causation – The pure microbe must cause the disease in a healthy animal. 4.Re-isolation - When the microbe is re-isolated from the sick animal it must be the same as the original.

5 Applying Koch’s postulates to cholera! 1.Association – It must always be present in every case – but not in healthy animals. 2.Isolation – It must be isolated from the sick animal into into pure culture. 3.Causation – The pure microbe must cause the disease in a healthy animal. 4.Re-isolation - When the microbe is re-isolated from the sick animal it must be the same as the original.

9 Wrap up: Sometimes Koch’s postulates can’t be fulfilled! 1.Association – It must always be present in every case – but not in healthy animals*. 2.Isolation – It must be isolated from the sick animal into pure culture**. 3.Causation – The pure microbe must cause the disease in a healthy animal. 4.Re-isolation - When the microbe is re-isolated from the sick animal it must be the same as the original. *Typhoid Mary. **Leprosy or the plague.
