Pasteur was born in the town of Dole in 1822, eastern France. As a student in Paris he deepen science. His genius is not visible when a student even one of the Grand Masters considers Pasteur "moderate" course in chemistry. Only after he earned his doctorate in 1847, Pasteur proved false professors of speech. Study of the treaty acid (tartaric acid) on the glass lift to the degree level chemist famous when he was only twenty-six years.
Then he turned his attention to the investigation of fermentation and prove that this process is exactly similar process occurs in other micro-organisms can memprodusir results are not desired in terms of beverage fermentation. This opinion was soon led other kegagasan that kind of micro-organisms can also produce things that are unexpected and can bring good effect on humans and animals.
Pasteur was not the first memasalahkan theory of disease bacillus. Similar hypothesis has been developed first by Girolamo Fracastoro, Friedrich Henle and many others. However, Pasteurlah the most outstanding in terms of the germ theory of disease demonstrated by a series of experiments and demonstrations is a major factor and convince people that his theory was correct pundits.
If the disease is caused by a bacillus, it seems plausible that by preventing the entry of bacilli into the human body, the disease could be avoided. Therefore Pasteur emphasized the importance of an antiseptic method for the doctors, and he had a major influence on Joseph Lister who introduced antiseptics way into the field of surgery.
Harmful bacteria that can enter the human body through food and beverages. Pasteur developed the technique (commonly called pasteurization) to destroy micro-organisms in beverages. This technique, if practiced, can destroy the contaminated milk pests as the cause of the infection.
Age when approaching the mid-fifties, Pasteur turned his attention again to the investigation of animal disease bacillus, a type of serious infectious disease that attacks cattle and other animals, but not humans. Pasteur was able to show that a type of bacilli to cause illness. Work of other more important was the development of techniques to produce patterns of livestock disease bacillus that has been weakened. By the way cattle are injected into the body, which was attenuated bacillus disease can cause a mild disease and did not result in fatal allowing the cattle acquire immunity to face the normal disease. Pasteur's public demonstration of the effectiveness of the technique immunize animals from livestock disease bacillus causing a stir. Soon it was realized that the general method can be used for the prevention of various diseases of society.
Pasteur in his laboratory
Personal discoveries of Pasteur's most famous is the development of injection technique on humans to prevent the dreaded disease rabies. Other scientists, by mimicking the basic idea of Pasteur, has since developed a vaccine to prevent other serious diseases such as typhoid and poliomyelitis.
Pasteur, who likes a lot of excellent work, create inventions are less important but still useful for the fragrance name. Is none other than the sense of discovery-discovery of others-that conclusively demonstrate that the micro-organisms do not grow through breeding. Pasteur also discovered anaerobiosis phenomena, such as micro-organisms can survive anything in the absence of air or oxygen. Pasteur's work on silkworm diseases brought a high commercial value. Another discovery is the development of vaccines to prevent outbreaks of cholera in chickens and disease affecting poultry. Pasteur's last breath near Paris in 1895.
People often make comparisons between the Pasteur by Edward Jenner, English physicist who developed the vaccine for the prevention of smallpox. Although Jenner did 80 years before Pasteur, Jenner I consider the significance of Pasteur's not, because pengebalannya system applies only to one type of disease course, while the Pasteur system can-and has been proven-effective to immunize against many diseases.
As from mid-19th century, the needs of the world's population lives almost doubling hpat. Added requirement that absurdly fast and wide-reaching is more powerful than anything that ever happened in the history of mankind. As a result, modern science and medicine has actually served us the second period of life. If the addition of this extra term can be attributed to solely the work of Pasteur business, I do not hesitate and falter again in first place in the list order this book. However, Pasteur donation is so fundamental, so no question that Pasteur had a large stake in preventing mortality at the end of this century. And therefore worthy Pasteur placed in high-order this book list.
