Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss their previous treatment of the fundamental theorems of medical diagnosis and practice to a wider class of situations in which Koch postulates and Fredericks & Relman extended version theorem could be used to prove the second theorem. A new approach is introduced involving the importance of Koch's famous postulates to disease transmission.
