Molecular Koch’s postulates are used to determine what genes contribute to a pathogen’s ability to cause disease. Virulence, the degree to which a pathogen can cause disease, can be quantified by calculating either the ID50 or LD50 of a pathogen on a given population. Primary pathogens are capable of causing pathological changes associated with disease in a healthy individual.

Examples include enterohemorrhagic E. coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. It also touches on Candida overgrowth causing thrush and yeast infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or due to hormonal changes in women.

It covers measurement units such as rad, rem, and their transitions to gray (Gy) and sievert (Sv). A table presents typical radiation doses in millisieverts (mSv) from various sources and outlines average annual U.S. radiation exposure, emphasizing background radiation from cosmic, soil, and bodily sources.
