| Joseph Lister |
| |
| 1827–1912, English surgeon, educated at University College, London. He brought to surgery the principle of antisepsis, an outgrowth of Pasteur’s theory that bacteria cause infection. In 1865, Lister proved the effectiveness of his methods, thus founding modern antiseptic surgery.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
