Louis Pasteur ( /ˈluːi pæˈstɜr/, French: [lwi pastœʁ]; December 27, 1822 – September 28, 1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases. His discoveries reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and he created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. His experiments supported the germ theory of disease. He was best known to the general public for inventing a method to treat milk and wine in order to prevent it from causing sickness, a process that came to be called pasteurization. He is regarded as one of the three main founders of microbiology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch.
Pasteur also made many discoveries in the field of chemistry, most notably the molecular basis for the asymmetry of certain crystals.[2] His body lies beneath the Institute Pasteur in Paris in a spectacular vault covered in depictions of his accomplishments in Byzantine mosaics.[3] Contents [hide] * 1 Early life * 2 Research career * 2.1 Molecular asymmetry * 2.2 Germ theory of fermentation * 2.3 Immunology and vaccination * 3 Allegations of deception * 4 Faith and spirituality * 5 Principal works * 6 Honours and final days * 7 Legacy * 8 See also * 9



References: On June 8, 1886, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II awarded Pasteur with the Order of the Medjidie (I. Class) and 10000 Ottoman liras.[28] In many localities worldwide, streets are named in his honor

    Koch was the first scientist to prove that bacteria actually cause disease. He scientifically demonstrated that a disease is caused by a particular organism. He created four general guidelines to aid in identification of disease causing pathogens. These guidelines developed from his work with purified cultures of anthrax that had been isolated from dead animals. Koch also proved that the same disease could be passed from one organism to another. Pasteur proved that microorganisms could be present in non-living matter. Bassi preceded both Pasteur and Koch in the discovery that many diseases of both man and animal were caused by parasites. This was vital in the formulation of the germ theory, to which both Pasteur and Koch would later expound. Bassi and Pasteur, though their research was important to later research, did not discover the true cause of disease, nor were they able to isolate the causal organisms. Koch was not only able to isolate the causal pathogen, he was able to correlate a specific pathogen caused a specific disease. We use his postulates because, if followed, they provide accurate data.…

    It wasn't until 1864 that Louis Pasteur dispelled the theory of spontaneous generation through an experiment with microbes on dust particles becoming lodged in swan necked flasks. Air entered the flask but no microbes grew in the boiled broth inside the flasks. Pasteur developed heat sterilisation techniques and used the most powerful sort of compound microscope of the day to look at the bacteria. Although difficult to see, Pasteur could see that they were multiplying. His discovery was important in disproving the spontaneous generation theory of cells, in which cells were created out of nothing.…

    In this essay I am going to discuss all three of the people mentioned above but I will also show you who I believe is the most influential and why I believe this. These people changed our medical knowledge forever and will always be remembered for this. Firstly there was Edward Jenner, he was born in 1749 and died in 1823, however in his 17 years he made one of the greatest discoveries in medical history. He had heard an old wives tale about milkmaids not contracting smallpox, which was a deadly disease killing thousands of people. He then believed that he should look into this and see if there was any truth in the story. He experimented on a little boy by injecting him with cowpox –something that only milkmaids caught- then with smallpox, when the boy didn’t become seriously ill with smallpox he knew that cowpox had made him immune to smallpox thus creating the first vaccination in the world. Secondly was Louis Pasteur, who was born in 1822 and died in 1895, was a French man that started as a chemist. Even though he was only a chemist he was hired by different companies, such as the wine industry, to investigate why some wine went sour while being made. This forced Pasteur to look down a microscope at the germs affecting it and he found something extremely revolutionary. People at this time still believe in miasma, which is where people believe that disease was caused by bad smells and that disease caused germ the other way around. Through Pasteur’s research he discovered that this was not true and that it was in fact germs that caused disease. Through his wine research he also found that if you heat up a mixture then you could kill the germs that were in the liquid. This process was the first of its kind and was even named after him; we know it today as pasteurisation. He also suggested that this should be used on surgical tools but he was unfortunately ignored. Along with everything mentioned above he also created vaccinations for chicken pox, cholera,…

    Louis Pasteur, born in Dole, a small town in eastern France had an interest in scientific subjects. In 1847, he received his doctoral degree. Pasteur believed that if germs were the cause of fermentation they could also be the cause of contagious diseases. He began to develop the Germ Theory of Disease, and eventually, developed vaccinations. In 1881, Pasteur successfully developed and introduced to the public his anthrax vaccine. In 1855, He launched one of his most famous developments – a vaccine against rabies. Soon after the vaccines were tested and were successful, the Pasteur Institute was built in Paris to treat victims with rabies and other diseases.…

    Louis Pasteur helped to revolutionize the surgical process. He began his career studying tarate crystals. He then went on to work as a chemistry professor. While working as a professor he began to study the effect of bacteria in the alcohol fermentation process. While working on this he discovered yeast and that it was feeding off of the grapes and that it was a living thing. His next feet, was to prove that life is formed from living cells, that the yeast did not just spontaneously appear in the grapes. Through his work he was able to prove that the yeast did not just generate itself.…

    Louis Pasteur was known for many scientific breakthroughs spanning several different branches of science. He took part in breakthroughs in microbes, crystallography, vaccines, infectious diseases, hygiene, microbiology, and enzymology. (Pasteur and Chemistry) His last, and most notably work was with vaccines, most notably rabies vaccines. He had made some observations about cholera in chickens, and performed experiments with the disease, as well as anthrax in sheep. The article “Louis Pasteur and Chemistry” says, “In a bid to convince the skeptics, Pasteur turned his attention to rabies, which affected humans as well as animals. . . For Pasteur, conquering rabies would prove his theories once and for all.” It seems his motivation was a curious mind, and advancement of science, but also the need to prove his hypothesis. His work with rabies led to a vaccine for the virus, and pioneered work with many other vaccines.…

    Studying bacteria was far more successful than studying crystallography. He had discovered three new types of bacteria: staphylococcus, streptococcus, and pneumococcus (Dakes 165). He also discovered chicken cholera, proved microbes reproduce, and proved that microorganisms are caused by living things and germs, and that microorganisms are killed at 122 degrees Fahrenheit (Jones 38). During this time, Pasteur studied beer and wine making. Industries are also thankful to him for saving the wine and silk industries. He found a disease living in wine and silkworms, but found a cure to it (Encyclopedia of Life Sciences). This process became known as pasteurization (Manning 193).…
