TONY SCARIA 2010 KMC
Robert Koch
• Discovered tubercle bacilli (kochs bacillus) and vibrio cholera
TONY SCARIA 2010 KMC
Koch’s postulates
• 1. The microorganism must be present in every case of the but absent
from healthy host.
• 2. The suspected microorganism must be isolated and grown in a pure
culture from lesions of the disease.
• Except : Mycobacterium leprae and Treponema pallidum,rickettsiae ,many
viruses
• 3. The isolated organism, in pure culture, when inoculated in suitable
laboratory animals should produce a similar disease.
• 4. The same microorganism must be isolated again in pure culture
from the lesions produced in experimental animals.

Koch’s phenomenon
• hypersensitivity reaction against tuberculosis bacilli demonstrated in
guinea pigs.
• guinea pigs already infected with tubercle bacillus, on challenge with
tubercle bacillus or its protein, developed an exaggerated
inflammatory response
