Antimicrobial Assay Worksheet
Hi Robert,
I enjoyed your information on Luis Pasteur. He was most definitely an amazing microbiologist. I must agree with you that his contributions to science and the world are without question remarkable and through your presentation of this scientist, I was reminded of studying him in my 10th grade biology class many many years ago.
In addition to all the contributions you mentioned, I believe Luis Pasteur could also be considered the founder of medical microbiology who broke the germ myth. He discovered that diseases are caused by microorganisms and not by spontaneous generation, demons or bad karma, as many people of his time believed.
He found that disease was caused by microorganisms that grew by reproduction. For instance, he had food in one jar that was uncovered and food in another jar that was covered and the food in the covered jar was of course still edible
Because of Luis’s works we now know germs can be transferred to others and cause major epidemics. His works has saved many lives. He has helped us to understand and improve living conditions free from harmful germs.
Due to his revolutionary contributions to germ theory, His discovery effected all because doctors and nurses now knew that sanitation and germ control were and are the key to stopping the spread of illnesses.
And most amazingly, Luis contributions to germ theory positively effected and changed the attitudes of people towards disease. As many say, knowledge is power! Isn’t it amazing that because of Luis contributions to microbiology, people could protect themselves from disease better and life spans were increased because they acquired a better understanding of disease and germs. Wouldn’t you agree that Luis’s contributions not only had a positive change on peoples attitudes towards disease moreover and finally those attitudes were all about the power of and hope of social, economic and cultural
