Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in Dole, France. His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs, also known as the germ theory of disease, is one of the most important in medical history. His work became the foundation for the science of microbiology, and a cornerstone of modern medicine. As Pasteur was growing up, his teachers thought that Louis was not fit for advanced studies, and felt he should carry on the work of his father as a tanner of leather.
After 1879, Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch were able to associate specific bacteria with certain diseases. Pasteur first developed his ideas of the germ theory from his work on Pebrine and chicken cholera in the 1870s. Then, in the 1880s, Pasteur solved anthrax and rabies disease plagues by treating sheep and dogs using the germ theory concept. Pasteur applied his germ theory to vaccinating people against deadly diseases.
