Two serious limitations to employing Koch’s postulates to identify disease etiology are (1) the organism must be culturable in the laboratory and (2) the organism must cause disease in an animal other than humans. Sick 1 2 The microorganism must always be found in similarly diseased animals but not in healthy ones. The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased animal and grown in pure culture. Sick 3 4 The isolated microorganism must cause the original disease when inoculated into a susceptible animal.
