Koch's postulates provide a set of guidelines for establishing a causative relationship between a specific microbe and a specific disease. These postulates state that the microbe must be present in all cases of the disease, it must be isolated and grown in pure culture, the pure culture should cause the disease when inoculated into a healthy host, and the microbe should be re-isolated from the newly infected host.
