Louis Pasteur in his laboratory, painting by A. Edelfeldt in 1885. When animals were infected with the bacteria, anthrax occurred, proving that the bacteria was the cause of the disease. [107] Many cattle were dying of anthrax in "cursed fields". [70] Pasteur was told that sheep that died from anthrax were buried in the field.
Amid anthrax vaccine's success, Pasteur introduced rabies vaccine (1885), the first human vaccine since Jenner's smallpox vaccine (1796). On 6 July 1885, the vaccine was tested on 9-year old Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog but failed to develop rabies, and Pasteur was called a hero. [13] (Even without vaccination, not everyone ...
Louis Pasteur was a French chemist who discovered chirality while studying crystals. This discovery became the basis for a new form of chemistry called stereochemistry. [49] [50] While Pasteur was studying paratartrate crystals in 1857, he discovered that his calcium paratartaric acid solutions were growing fungi. The left and right sides of ...

1861 – Louis Pasteur discovers the Germ Theory; 1867 – Lister publishes Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery, based partly on Pasteur's work. 1870 – Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch establish the germ theory of disease. 1878 – Ellis Reynolds Shipp graduates from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and begins practice in ...
A representation by Robert Seymour of the cholera epidemic depicts the spread of the disease in the form of poisonous air.. The miasma theory was the predominant theory of disease transmission before the germ theory took hold towards the end of the 19th century; it is no longer accepted as a correct explanation for disease by the scientific community.
Pasteur had immunised the dog against rabies, as he later did with 50 more. [105] A cartoon from 1826 depicting a rabid dog on a London street. Although Pasteur had little idea how his method worked, he tested it on a boy, Joseph Meister (1876–1940), who was brought to Pasteur by his mother on 6 July 1885. He was covered in bites, having been ...
1868 – Busch discovered that a sarcoma patient being surgically intervened to remove the tumor, after being exposed to a patient suffering from erysipelas, got a skin infection and her tumor disappeared. He inoculated some other cancer patients with many successes. [7] [4]
