Louis Pasteur

• The many discoveries and inventions that make the
  modern world we live in.

Monsieur Pasteur

• A French chemist, known for his breakthroughs in
  causes and prevention of diseases.
• Best known for his discovery of
  pasteurization-the method of fermenting milk and
  wine causing sickness to be prevented.

• Three main founders of microbiology.
• He also made many discoveries in the field of
  chemistry.

Pasteurization

• Process which slows microbial growth in foods.
• First used as the fermentation process in wine
  and milk production.
• Without this process there would still be a
  massive risk of disease and bacteria carried in
  dairy products as well as alcohol substances.

4
Mysteries Solved

• Solved the mysteries of rabies, anthrax, chicken
  cholera, and silkworm diseases, and contributed
  to the development of the first vaccines.
• Debunked the widely accepted myth of spontaneous
  generation thereby setting the stage for modern
  biology and biochemistry.

• He described the scientific basis for
  fermentation, wine-making, and the brewing of
  beer.
• Pasteur's work gave birth to many branches of
  science, as well as being responsible for some of
  the most important concepts and applications of
  modern science.

5
Ideas

• These inventions contribute so much to our lives
  and without them our lives would not be the same
  as they are now.
• The germ theory discovered by Pasteur was the
  foundation of numerous applications such as
  brewing of beer, wine-making, pasteurization, and
  antiseptic operations.

• His work has protected millions of people from
  disease through vaccination and pasteurization.
• Our lives would not be as advanced or modern as
  they are today, if it werent for some of Louis
  Pasteurs discoveries and inventions.

Why you should know?

• Not only do we use these discoveries and
  inventions in our daily lives but we wouldnt
  have everything we have today if it werent for
  Pasteurs many finds and inventions.
• We should know how things came about and whos
  genius and time contributes to them.
