GFR Definition of Germ Theory  Diseases are caused by specific micro-organisms within the body  Developed and accepted in Europe and the United States from the mid 1800

GFR Developing the Germ Theory  Theory was developed by chemist Louis Pasteur and bacteriologist Robert Koch  Concluded that infectious diseases where caused by micro-organisms

GFR Microbiology The study of microorganisms  Subdivided into four studies: bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology

GFR Germ Theory Timeline In 1840 Ignaz Semmelweis discovers hand washing can disinfect the hands In 1860 Louis Pasteur disproves spontaneous generation In 1877 Robert Koch publishes Koch's Postulates In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin

Contribution-Ignaz Semmelweis TP Hungarian physician                                   drastically reduce the number of women                    after childbirth late 1800s surgeons did not scrub up  causing                          to be                             from one patient to another. Hand-washing dying infection transferred 

Accomplishments-Ignaz Semmelweis TP Finding a                     for the                         of bacteria                           the number of women dying after birth due to                    . Solution  spreading Decreased Infection 

Contribution-Louis Pasture TP Disproved the theory of                                                          . living organisms can                               from                                     objects Spontaneous generation  Originate Inanimate 

Accomplishments -Louis Pasture TP Found a way to                       spoilage time in goods through                                 .  Pasteurization: kills                             and prevents                           in beer, milk, and other goods  Reduce Pasteurization microbes  Spoilage
