Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

The document discusses several important figures in the development of microbiology: - Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to see microorganisms like bacteria and protozoa using his single-lens microscopes in the 1670s. - Louis Pasteur proved in the 19th century that many diseases are caused by microorganisms and developed pasteurization to kill harmful bacteria in fluids like milk. - Robert Koch isolated several disease-causing bacteria in the late 1800s and developed Koch's postulates, establishing him as one of the founders of microbiology. - Joseph Lister introduced carbolic acid and sterile surgery in the 1860s, reducing post-operative infections and

Anton van Leeuwenhoek Leeuwenhoek made single-lens microscopes with exquisite lenses; with them he became the first

person to see ciliated protists, which he called "animalcules" and "wretched beasties." He also discovered Hydra, rotifers, bacteria, and the sperm of dogs and other animals. Louis Pasteur A French scientist of the nineteenth century whose work was very important in proving that many diseases are caused by microorganisms. He developed pasteurization, in which fluids, such as milk, are heated for a specific period of time to kill harmful bacteria. John Tyndall The Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820-1893) is best known for his work on the scattering of light by atmospheric particles and on the absorption of infrared radiation by gases. He also did much to popularize science among laymen. John Tyndall was born... Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (11 December 1843 27 May 1910) was a German physician. He became famous for isolating Bacillus anthracis (1877), the Tuberculosis bacillus (1882) and the Vibrio cholerae (1883) and for his development of Koch's postulates. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his tuberculosis findings in 1905. He is considered one of the founders of microbiologyhe inspired such major figures as Paul Ehrlich and Gerhard Domagk. Julius Richard Petri (Barmen, May 31, 1852 December 20, 1921 in Zeitz) was a German bacteriologist who is generally credited with inventing the Petri dish while working as assistant to Robert Koch. Sir Alexander Fleming (7 August 1881 11 March 1955) was a Scottish biologist and pharmacologist. Fleming published many articles on bacteriology, immunology, and chemotherapy. His best-known achievements are the discovery of the enzyme lysozyme in 1922 and isolation of the antibiotic substance penicillin from the fungus Penicillium notatum in 1928, for which he shared a Nobel Prize with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain. Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister, OM, FRS , PC (5 April 1827 10 February 1912 aged 84) was a British surgeon and a pioneer of antiseptic surgery, who promoted the idea of sterile surgery while

working at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Lister successfully introduced carbolic acid to sterilise surgical instruments and to clean wounds, which led to reduced post-operative infections and made surgery safer for patients.
