Question
How did Griffith confirm that it was the bacteria causing the pneumonia and not something else?
Solution
VerifiedGriffith worked with two strains of streptococcus pneumoniae, which were called the S and R strains. A series of experiments were performed on dead and healthy mice, he later found that the S strain formed colonies with smooth edges indicating pneumonia. This confirmed that the disease was not caused by chemicals or responses but by the bacteria itself.
