Which of These Outcomes is the Focus of Molecular Koch's

Question

Which of these outcomes is the focus of molecular Koch's postulates?
A)The isolation of the pathogen.
B)The identification of the pathogen.
C)The determination of the LD₅₀.
D)The determination of the ID₅₀.
E)The identification of virulence factor genes.

Accepted Answer

Molecular Koch's postulates focus on the identification of virulence factor genes as a way to verify the role of a particular gene in the pathogenicity of a microorganism. The other choices (A-D) are important in studying pathogens but are not the specific focus of molecular Koch's postulates.
