Summary Introduction
Introduction:
S. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) is a gram positive bacterium which causes skin infection in humans. Penicillin was the first antibiotic to treat S. aureus infections but within a period of two years, the bacterium develops resistance to penicillin and then Methicillin was used as an antibiotic against S. aureus. After two years, the organism S. aureus again develops the strains which were resistant to Methicillin.

A suspected pathogen is observed from the blood of a diseased mouse. An
investigation of the other mice in the area indicates that it is not present in healthy
mice. With Koch's postulates in mind, what is the next step to determine whether or
not this suspected pathogen is the cause of disease in the mouse?
a) Grow the suspected pathogen in a pure culture
Ob) Re-isolate the suspected pathogen and show that it is the same as the
original pathogen
c) Inoculate a healthy mouse with the suspected pathogen
O d) Determine whether the organism in the pure culture is the same one as in
the original sample
