Abstract
Robert Koch was a German physician and scientist who I made wide-ranging contributions to the study of infectious diseases. He is credited with developing medical microbiology as a new and independent discipline. He is most j renowned for deciphering the etiology of tuberculosis (TB), anthrax and cholera. He laid down rigorous guidelines for establishing the link between a pathogen and a particular disease that came to be known as Koch’s postulates. To this day these postulates serve as benchmarks in the study of infectious diseases.
