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 ...
It is abundantly evident that HIV causes disease and death in hemophiliacs, a group generally lacking Duesberg's proposed risk factors. [2] [45] HIV fulfills Koch's postulates, which are one set of criteria for demonstrating a causal relationship between a microbe and a disease.
Autoimmune diseases are associated with Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection, and Borrelia miyamotoi infection, [1] and HIV, [6] and the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [7] Autoimmune thyroid disease is associated with Epstein-Barr virus. [8] Cancer: Anal cancer is associated with human papillomaviruses. [9] Bladder cancer Schistosoma ...
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.
Although Koch's postulates are often inapplicable, they remain heuristic, and the authority of "fulfilling Koch's postulates" is still invoked in medical science, though often in modified form, [38] as in the identification of HIV-1 as the cause of AIDS or the identification of SARS coronavirus as the cause of SARS.

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.
In a framework incorporating the second denial and/or the third, criticism of the current scientific view has variously been rested on the claim that HIV has not been adequately isolated, [58] that HIV does not fulfill Koch's postulates, [59] HIV testing is inaccurate, [32] and/or that antibodies to HIV neutralize the virus and render it ...
