Question

Which criteria of koch's postulates would not necessarily be met when trying to link a particular bacterium to a latent infection, such as tuberculosis or lyme disease?

Answer 1

The criteria of Koch's postulates would not necessarily be met when trying to link a particular bacterium to a latent infection, such as tuberculosis or lyme disease include the following:

• When the microbe is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host, the same disease occurs.

• The microbe is found in all cases of the disease but is absent from healthy individuals.

What is a Pathogen?

This is referred to as disease causing micro organism and examples include bacteria, virus etc.

When the microbe is introduced into a healthy host different, the cells are compromised which leads to the same disease occurring in them and is the same in all cases.

The microbes are however absent from a healthy host which is the reason why the above options were chosen as the most appropriate choice.
