Koch's postulates are:
The organism must be found in all animals suffering from the disease, but not in healthy animals. The organism must be isolated from a diseased animal and grown in pure culture The cultured organism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy animal. The organism must be reisolated from the experimentally infected animal.
