ENHANCEMENT CLASS: HISTORY OF MICROBIOLOGY Flashcards
First true microbiologist
ANTONIE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723)
Father of bacteriology and protozoology
ANTONIE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723)
used the term “animalcules”
ANTONIE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723)
used self-made single lens microscope with 50-300x
ANTONIE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723)
used self-made single lens microscope with 50-300x
ANTONIE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723)
invalidated the long-held beloef that life forms could arise from non-living things
FRANCESCO REDI (1626-1697)
observe that the sealed flask with boiled mutton broth became cloudy after standing
JOHN NEEDHAM (1731-1781)
organic matter possessed a “vital force” that could give rise to life
JOHN NEEDHAM (1731-1781)
improved the previous experiments of Needham by heating the broth
LAZZARO SPALLANZANI (1729-1799)
improved the previous experiments of Needham by heating the broth
LAZZARO SPALLANZANI (1729-1799)
concluded that microorganisms from the air probably had entered Needham’s concoction after they were boiled
LAZZARO SPALLANZANI (1729-1799)
challenge the docrine of spontaneous generation with the concept of biogenesis
RUDOLF VIRCHOW (1821-1902)
disproved the doctrine of spontaneous generation
LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)
disproved the doctrine of spontaneous generation
LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)
proposed the use of heat in killing microorganisms = “aseptic technique”
LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)
improved the wine-making process (fermentation and pasteurization)
LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)
developed vaccines of anthrax (1881) and rabies (1885)
LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)
first to show irrefutable proof that bacteria indeed cause diseases
ROBERT KOCH (1843-1910)
discovery Bacillus anthracis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis
ROBERT KOCH (1843-1910)
developed a culture medium for observing growth of bacteria isolated from human body
ROBERT KOCH (1843-1910)
The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.
Koch’s Postulates
The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.
Koch’s Postulates
The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
Koch’s Postulates
The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and Identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.
Koch’s Postulates
study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them
PARASITOLOGY
study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as well as dangers
