One does not have to "see bacteria" to know that they exist and that they are responsible for "chemical transformation" and infectious disease.

What do you know that supports this statement?

IGNAZ SEMMELWEIS

In 1841 (30 years before the GERM THEORY of disease was established) young doctor IGNAZ SEMMELWEIS was hired to run a maternity ward in a Vienna hospital.

(July 1, 1818 - August 13, 1865)

The Francesco Redi experiment 1668

Year Event

1668 Francesco Redi attacks spontaneous generation and disproves it for large organisms

1745 John Needham adds chick broth to a flask and boils it, lets it cool and waits. Microbes grow and he proposes it as an example of spontaneous generation.

1768 Lazzaro Spallanzani repeats Needham's experiment, but removes all the air from the flask. No growth occurs.

1859 Louis Pasteur's swan-neck flasks show that spontaneous generation does not occur.

1870 Thomas H. Huxley gives his "Biogenesis and Abiogenesis" lecture. The speech offered powerful support for Pasteur's claim to have experimentally disproved spontaneous generation.

1877 John Tyndall publishes his method for fractional sterilization, showing the existence of heat-resistant bacterial spores.

Antecedents of Escherichia coli B have been traced through publications, inferences, and personal communication to a strain from the Institut Pasteur in Paris used by d'Herelle in his studies of bacteriophages as early as 1918 (a strain not in the current collection). This strain appears to have passed from d'Herelle to Bordet in 1920, and from Bordet to at least three other laboratories by 1925. The strain that Gratia received from Bordet was apparently passed to Bronfenbrenner by 1924 and from him to Luria around 1941. Delbrück and Luria published the first paper calling this strain B in 1942. Its choice as the common host for phages T1–T7 by the phage group that developed around Delbrück, Luria, and Hershey in the 1940s led to widespread use of B along with E. coli K-12, chosen about the same time for biochemical and genetic studies by Tatum and Lederberg. Not all currently available strains related to B are descended from the B of Delbrück and Luria; at least three strains with somewhat different characteristics were derived independently by Hershey directly from the Bronfenbrenner strain , and a strain that appears to have passed from Bordet to Wollman is in the current Collection of the Institut Pasteur. The succession of manipulations and strains that led from the B of Delbrück and Luria to REL606 and BL21 (DE3) is given, established in part through evidence from their recently determined complete genome sequences.
