| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aseptic Surgery (aseptic_surgery) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Aseptic Surgery provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Microbiology (Early Observations) (microbiology_early_observations) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Microbiology (Early Observations) is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
|
| Biochemistry (biochemistry) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Biochemistry provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
