| The inquiry itself embodied a pivotal shift in scientific paradigms of disease causation from miasmatic or filth-based models to the germ theory. |
|
| Indeed, 100 years of germ theory has spawned impressive germ-fighting offspring. |
|
| The germ theory of disease had not yet been developed and his work was rejected. |
|
| He builds up the germ theory and annihilates the spontaneous generation theory. |
|
| In the field of medicine, physicians were familiar with Louis Pasteur's germ theory and knew of Joseph Lister's discoveries in the fields of bacteriology and antisepsis. |
|
| Long before the germ theory of disease, experience taught that illness could be contagious, and that textiles and sealed containers could harbour disease. |
|
| We don't have a germ theory for chronic diseases like stroke, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. |
|
| Louis Pasteur, who developed the germ theory of disease, doesn't even make the top ten. |
|
| In the era before germ theory, Semmelweis intuited that the unwashed hands of physicians were spreading puerperal fever in Vienna. |
|
| Another important landmark in medicine and biology were the successful efforts to prove the germ theory of disease. |
|
| Credit for the discovery of the cholera bacterium is usually accorded to Robert Koch, the German bacteriologist who first enunciated the principles of modern germ theory. |
|
| This evidence gave rise to the germ theory of fermentation. |
|
| The two etiologic hypotheses germ theory and miasma were widely debated, with available clinical and population-based evidence serving as the basis for arguments from both sides. |
|
| The method of preventing Rh disease, the treatment of diabetes, and the germ theory of disease were discovered by Westerners. |
|
| This is the prelude to his studies on contagious diseases and germ theory. |
|
| His work in germ theory also led him and his team to create vaccinations for anthrax, chicken cholera and rabies. |
|
| Finally, between 1880 and 1900, an explosive burst of experimental activity at last drove home the truth of germ theory to all but the most purblind of critics. |
|
| Lahmann's unprecedented success proved beyond doubt the correctness of his teachings and the fallacy of the germ theory of disease, vaccinations and serum therapy. |
|
| Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch establish the germ theory of disease. |
|
| Subsequently, he developed an interest in fermentation, a subject around which the emerging germ theory clashed with the theory of spontaneous generation. |
