The Birth of Microbiology

  • As we have come to understand in this series, the most devastating diseases to ever plague mankind have been the cause of pathogenic organisms. Although strategies had been developed to combat some of these diseases, it was not until the birth of microbiology that we began to truly understand the etiology of these diseases and come up with truly effective approaches to curing them. Who were the key players in this endeavor? Those would be Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and Paul Ehrlich. What did they do, and how did they transform science and medicine in ways that led to the increased life expectancy and qualify of life that we enjoy today? Let's take a look!

    For whatever reason, I was really moved by this installment. As a long time sufferer of chronic depression, it was sad to hear about Paul Ehrlich. To be dedicated to a passion with such far reaching positive intentions, yet to be attacked in that way has got to be incredibly painful.

    This video helped me! Not only did my teacher recommend that we watch this video. I became interested in microbiology now! This video taught me a lot, and i am glad that my teacher recommended us to watch this video. Thanks a lot, Prof!

    Leuwonhoek got his micro lenses by breaking hot glass rods. Voila, tiny perfect glass spheres. People thought for a long time that he had impossible glass blowing skills. Just a natural discovery. Source - Gresham lecture by William Ayliffe, if memory serves.

    Sterilization and cleanliness are so associated with surgery that it's absurd to us how bad things were before we knew better. Maybe in 150 years people will think medicine today was just as absurd due to greater knowledge and technology.
