The leading causes of death have changed considerably over the 20th century. Heart disease‚ cancer‚ cerebrovascular disease‚ chronic obstructive lung disease‚ and unintentional injuries have been the 5 out of 10 leading causes of death since 2000. By the year 2000‚ tuberculosis‚ gastroenteritis‚ and diphtheria have fallen off the list of the top 10 diseases in 1900 and deaths from influenza and pneumonia dropped from first to seventh position on the list. The increase in crude rates for heart disease

Louis Pasteur discovered many discoveries that advanced bacteriology. He made pasteurization and vaccinations. Pasteurization was made when Emperor Napoleon asked Louis Pasteur to examine diseases in wine. Pasteur showed that by heating wine at a certain temperature‚ the bacteria in the wine would die. Pasteurization was formed. The process was used to kill other bacteria in other liquids‚ like in milk and beer. He discovered vaccinations when he researched the rabies. He could

The Identification of Bacillus Badius [pic] Hannah Melanchuk Dr. Robert Suran May 1 2013 Microbiology Abstract Over a three week time span I was able to successfully identify an unknown microorganism by combining the results of several tests. The first test was the Gram stain test which showed the microorganism was Gram positive and rod shaped. Using an Unknown Identification Flowchart‚ I proceeded to inoculate a Starch plate. In week 2‚ I

Proteus mirabilis The genus Proteus‚ according to Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology‚ is a group of straight rod Gram negative bacteria around 0.4-0.8 μm in diameter and 1-3 μm in length. In the microscopic test done‚ it was seen that the unknown culture contained rods that are on the shorter side‚ thus was identified as bacteria that appear to be coccobacilli. Because of the presence of peritrichous flagella‚ species included this genus are motile and most strains swarm in periodic cycles

Louis Pasteur’s 1885 rabies vaccine was the next to make an impact on human disease‚ which led to the dawn of bacteriology (the study of bacteria). Antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria‚ tetanus‚ anthrax‚ cholera‚ plague‚ typhoid‚ tuberculosis‚ and more were developed through the 1930s. The middle of the 20th century was a very significant time for vaccine research
