Robert Hermann Koch (11 December 1843 – 27 May 1910) was a German physician who developed Koch's postulates. [1] Koch's postulates (/ k ɒ x / KOKH) [2] are four criteria designed to establish a causal relationship between a microbe and a disease. The postulates were formulated by Robert Koch and Friedrich Loeffler in 1884, based on earlier ...
Molecular Koch's postulates are a set of experimental criteria that must be satisfied to show that a gene found in a pathogenic microorganism encodes a product that contributes to the disease caused by the pathogen. Genes that satisfy molecular Koch's postulates are often referred to as virulence factors.
Microbial pathogenesis is a field of microbiology that started at least as early as 1988, with the identification of the triune Falkow's criteria, aka molecular Koch's postulates.
Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (/ k ɒ x / KOKH; [1] [2] German: [ˈʁoːbɛʁt ˈkɔx] ⓘ; 11 December 1843 – 27 May 1910) was a German physician and microbiologist.As the discoverer of the specific causative agents of deadly infectious diseases including tuberculosis, cholera and anthrax, he is regarded as one of the main founders of modern bacteriology.
He formulated molecular Koch's postulates, which have guided the study of the microbial determinants of infectious diseases since the late 1980s. [2] Falkow spent over 50 years uncovering molecular mechanisms of how bacteria cause disease and how to disarm them. [1]

In 1890, Koch created what he called his four postulates in determining if a microorganism is the causse of a disease. His four original criteria were: [71] 1.The microorganism must be present in every case of the disease. 2. The microorganism must be isolated from the diseased host and grown as a pure culture in the laboratory 3.
