Who developed the methods of killing bacteria?

Question

Who developed the methods of killing bacteria?

Answer 1

Louis Pasteur developed the process named after him, pasteurization, which kills harmful microorganisms in liquids (usually refers to milk nowadays, although he developed it for beer and wine).

Joseph Lister, a surgeon, used disinfectants to clean wounds (around 1860); listerine is named after him.

The big breakthrough in antibacterial drugs was in 1928, when Alexander Fleming discovered that penicillin killed bacteria. As far as I know he didn't get anything named after him, although he did receive a statue of himself, put up by bullfighters, because a lot of them used to die from bacterial infections.

Answer 2

Louis Pasteur in 1862. Milk is heated at 70 - 75 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 seconds to kill all harmful bacteria. For other fluids such as juices or teas temperatures or times may vary somewhat.

Back in those days few scientists believed that the tiny germ organisms postulated by Pasteur as the cause of disease were able to kill large organisms like humans.

Answer 3

Alexander fleming=breakthroughs in antibiotics

Louis pasteur= Process of pasteurization
