Microbial pathogenesis
Microbial pathogenesis is a field of microbiology started at least as early as 1988, with the identification of the triune Falkow's criteria aka molecular Koch's postulates.[1][2] In 1996 Fredricks and Relman proposed a seven-point list of "MOLECULAR GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLISHING MICROBIAL DISEASE CAUSATION".[2]
