Louis Pasteur made very important contributions to science. He figured out that microorganism scaled microbes made alcohol and milk go sour. Before his discovery, there was no way to stop beverages from going bad. Drinking spoiled drinks can have very negative effects on humans. Louis created a process that destroys the microbes inside of liquids. To do this, you must heat up a liquid to a high temperature for a short amount of time. He named this revolutionary process pasteurization. In addition to is amazing achievement, Louis created vaccines for rabies and anthrax.
Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822. He was born in Dole, France. Louis grew up in a town called Arbois with his father, Jean-Joseph Pasteur. Louis ' father had a

This is where Louis met his wife, Marie Laurent. Louis married Marie on May 29 in the year 1849. Marie and Louis had five children. Sadly, only two of these children survived their childhood.
After managing to cope with the death of two of his children, Louis Pasteur was made a professor at the University of Lille. It was at this university, that Louis tried to find a solution to the problem manufacturers of alcohol faced at that time. Louis Pasteur, of course, did not invent Germ Theory. He did however, further develop the theory, and convinced the majority of Europe that this theory is true.
After showing how microorganism affected drinks such as alcohol and milk, Louis then created a process that was capable of destroying these organisms that put humans in danger. He figured out that this could be accomplished by boiling, and then cooling a liquid. Louis performed this for the first time on April 20 in 1862. We later named this process pasteurization, after its inventor.
Louis 's knowledge of how microorganisms forms helped him later in life. By using what he knew about microbes, Pasteur saved the silk industry. Pasteur proved to silk manufacturers that microbes were responsible for the silk shortage. The microbes were attacking silkworm eggs. By doing this, the silkworms caught a disease. Louis realized that if the microbes were killed, the disease would cease to exist. And of course, Louis 's hypothesis was correct, and by
Dr. Joseph Lister was able to reintroduce cleaniness to the medical field. He used carbolic acid to dress a wound to reduce the rate of infection. This relates to Louis Pasteur because the both of them believed in microbes being the reason for disease so they enforce washing your hands and boiling instruments.
In the year of 1928, the famous accidental experiment was made. Mr. Fleming had found a liter Page 3 dish from an earlier experiment thought it was garbage, more closely observed it and found that one of the molds was actually killing the bacteria. He could tell because their nothing growing around it like the rest of the dish. This was essential because by presenting his findings, when it was later recognized as “important” or “useful”, doctors had found a way to help kill bacteria. Which was also a big part of World War Two and the amount of soldiers that had lasted because they didn't die due to open wounds.
He is known as “The Renaissance Man” because he was a jack of all trades, including artist and scientist. He is the first person who accurately depicted and documented human anatomy. His medical journals became the basis for what we know commonly today as Gray’s Anatomy. Without his curiosity of the human body, we might not have the same knowledge as we do today. History shapes every subject we take in school, not only science. We have art and music history, the history of language, psychology, as well as others, and of course, the history of history itself.
Louis Pasteur put forward the germ theory in 1861 this consisted of micro-organisms cause decaying matter. Pasteur never showed the link between bacteria and human disease. Robert Koch further developed Pasteur’s theory. Koch succeeded in what Pasteur did by linking one microbe with a disease. The first disease Koch worked on was anthrax, which Davaine had also worked on. Davaine found that in you inject a health animal with a small dose of the disease they won’t contract the disease. But Koch was able to further his research on the disease and its life cycle. It was the work of Pasture and Koch that opened the door for other researchers to identification of disease-causing and lifesaving treatments.

During the era, people were all living in the same shelter, which allowed germs and diseases to be transmitted. the people were misinformed or lack the knowledge about the hygiene; they thought that being dirty was the road to wealth. Everybody perspective were the same, the rich, and the poor, they all believe that having their face all dirtied up and their teeth unclean were signs of wealth. Until, Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) brought up his Germ theory of disease to the society. Louis’ ideas were well-accepted after 20 years of research. His theory suggested that there is a “ specific disease were caused by a living organism called gems, and that those organism could be controlled in people as well as in beer, wine, and milk (Mckay et al., 2012). Soon after the discovery, the Louis’ theory was implanted in to hospital and schools to find new information for later prevention.
Trying to understand these hypotheses, and motivated by his religious principles, he then discovered the germ theory. It didn’t start with a whole theory in the beginning. At first, he was studying the diseases of milk and vinegar, which led him to show

The intention of this paper is to examine the significant and enduring impact Louis Pasteur had on public health and wonderful advances in medicines and invention of vaccines. Louis Pasteur was a truly talented person who made many various discoveries in different areas of science. He invented Pasteurization, the process of treating milk free of damage causing microorganisms (Louis Pasteur, 2014). In 1843, Louis enrolled at the Ecole Normale Supe´rieure in Paris, where he focused in the origins of life. During the time he was professor in Strasbourg, France, he started investigating fermentation, which is a chemical process that breaks down organic substance. Pasteur became drawn to the field of transmittable diseases and the discovery of
3) Oswald Avery: Tested many strains of bacteria and discovered that DNA carries a cell’s genetic code and can be altered through transformations.
For example,”He provided clear and logical explanations to salts,bases,and acids”(“famous bios”). “He developed the modern ingredients to the periodic table”(“famous bios”). “Lavoisier found that living beings create heat”(“famous bios”). As a result, Antoine Lavoisier fits himself into one of the best,smartest, and richest chemist the world will ever
Another scientist that made a huge contribution to the discovery of DNA was Frederick Griffith. He hypothesized that somehow information could be transferred between different strains of bacteria. For his experiment
Who would have thought that soured beer would begin a study that would one day result in the discovery of several vaccines for deadly diseases? It all began when Bigo, a man who had manufactured beer from the sugar beet, went to see Pasteur. Louis Pasteur at the time was the Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Lille in France. Bigo asked Pasteur if he could discover why some of his beer became sour. Louis Pasteur used a microscope to study the vats of soured beer. He discovered that there were microorganisms in the beer. Because Louis Pasteur explored the possibility that these microorganisms were causing what is called putrefaction, a process of organic breakdown, he discovered many important facts. One of which was that microorganisms existed. He went on to explore the possibility that these microorganisms, or microbes, can be found airborne. Even when his peers scoffed at his ideas, Louis continued with his work. After discovering these microbes in wine, milk, and silkworms, Louis Pasteur believed that these microbes could affect human beings, that they could cause diseases.
Many scientists say that several people saw his great idea and followed him on the way to discovery, but others opposed it. One of the followers was Louis Pasteur who seems to get most of the credit for the start of the germ theory. Pasteur was a French microbiologists and a dedicated man
