1.A research group is investigating the potential infectious nature of a disease. From ulcerative skin lesions in mice they were able to grow as pure cultures a Gram negative microorganism. They inoculated this microorganism into the skin of healthy mice and reproduced the same ulcerative skin lesions. According to the Koch’s postulated these experimental evidences are sufficient to confirm that the Gram negative microorganism is the causative agent of the studied disease. (T/F) 2. Exotoxins can cause tissue damage during...
