Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The germ theory of disease is composed of a set of steps that could establish whether an organism is ____ and which disease it causes.
A
pasteurized
B
pathogenic
C
microbial
D
bacterial
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It states that microorganisms known as pathogens or “germs” can lead to disease. These small organisms, too small to be seen without magnification, invade humans, other animals, and other living hosts. Their growth and reproduction within their hosts can cause disease.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the final decades of the 19th century, Koch conclusively established that a particular germ could cause a specific disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Germ theory reduced the spread of disease to the transmission of these bacteria. Hence, the causes of diseases were conceptualized as local biological impingements. A key move was Koch’s isolation and culturing of the tuberculosis virus, and his demonstration that tuberculosis could be artificially induced in animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The microorganism must be identified only in the diseased individual and not in the healthy individual. The microorganism should be isolated from the diseased individual and cultured. The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced to a healthy individual. More items
