Question

Which of the following contribute to the successful application of Koch's postulates?
A) the development of the compound microscope
B) the theory of abiogenesis
C) the ability to record the appearance of bacteria photographically
D) the development of simple bacterial staining techniques
E) the development of techniques for sterile transfer of bacteria

Accepted Answer

The development of techniques for sterile transfer of bacteria is key to the successful application of Koch's postulates, as it prevents contamination and ensures that any observed disease symptoms are caused by the tested microorganism. The other options may have contributed to the overall understanding of microbiology, but they are not directly related to Koch's postulates.
