Q

Observed spontaneous existence of fishes from dried ponds, when the pond was filled with rain.

45
Q

in 1745 published experiments claiming the spontaneous generation of microorganisms in decayable fluids.

A

John needham

46
Q

Boiling broth, placing it on a flask and sealing it; became cloudy and conclude that microorganism generated spontaneously. broth is not sufficiently boiled to kill pre-existing microbes

A

John needham

47
Q

opposed this view who boiled beef broth for an hour, sealed the flasks, and observed no formation of microbes.

A

Lazzaro spallanzani

48
Q

attempted to counter such arguments.

A

Franz Schulze, Theodore Schwann, Georg Friedrich Schroder and Theodor von Dusch

49
Q

in 1877 proved and was able to explain satisfactorily the need for prolonged heating to eliminate microbial life from infusions.

A

John tyndall

50
Q

killed both heat- stable form and a heat-sensitive form of bacteria. Intermittent heating, now called

A

Tyndallization

51
Q

form of sterilization that uses most heat

A

Tyndallization

52
Q

first tried to set an experiment to disprove spontaneous generation / life comes from pre- existing life

A

Francesco redi

53
Q

The two person who Disproved the theory

A

Francesco redi and louis pasteur

54
Q

disproved the theory of abiogenesis. Designed a large curved flask (Pasteur goose neck flask) and
placed a sterile growth broth medium. Air freely moved through the tube; but dust particles were trapped in the curved portion of flask.

A

Louis pastuer

55
Q

Major Contribution of Louis Pasteur

A
  1. Theory fermentation
  2. Principle of sterilization and pastuerization
  3. Disease of silkworm

60
Q

Exceptions to Koch’s Postulates

A
  1. Do not exhibit symptoms of the disease
  2. Very difficult or impossible to grow in vitro
  3. Many species are specific species
  4. Develop only when an opportunistic pathogen invades immunocompromised
