Imagine that you discover a new type of bacteria in an environment that is exposed to oxygen. A. What type of bacteria might you have discovered? B. Propose a mechanism by which they can produce the energy needed
2. Robert Koch was a German physician who identified the bacteria causing anthrax and tuberculosis. His methods
established four criteria that must be met for a specific pathogen to be considered the cause of a disease. These
four criteria are listed below. Discuss in detail how Warren and Marshall fulfilled each criteria.
a. The pathogen should be found in the bodies of animals having the disease.
b. The suspected pathogen should be obtained from the diseased animal and grown outside the body.
c. The inoculation of that pathogen, grown in pure cultures, should produce the disease in an
experimental animal.
I
d. The same pathogen should be isolated from the experimental animal after the disease develops.
