Document Summary
Cell theory- basically through a small microscope he created, he would see the smallest forms of life (down to 10um) Father of microbiology first to discover bacteria with his microscope. Under a drop of water he saw tiny organisms (bacteria) Father of immunology discovered vaccine to smallpox in 1798 first time a disease was cured before it occurred. Vaccines anthrax (rod-shaped bacteria), fowl cholera, rabies (virus) Created the process of heat sterilization for spoiled beer (which was basically spontaneous generation or tiny organisms/microbes) ** refer to lecture notes for images of process. Robert koch link between microbes and disease (germ theory) Causative agents of anthrax and tuberculosis improved pure culture. Postulates: the suspected pathogen must be present in all cases of the disease and absent from the healthy animal. However there are exceptions because stuff like std"s do not grow outside of humans: the suspected pathogen must grow in pure culture, cells from.
