In this episode, we’ll explore Robert Koch’s contributions to bacteriology, which built on Pasteur's Germ Theory to show that specific microbes cause specific illnesses. Koch identified the microbes responsible for anthrax, tuberculosis, and cholera, inspiring others to discover germs behind diseases like typhus and pneumonia. In Britain, John Tyndall and Dr. William Roberts supported Germ Theory, while William Cheyne translated Koch's findings, highlighting that not all microbes are harmful. This research sparked a movement of 'microbe hunters' focused on understanding and preventing diseases, shifting scientific emphasis toward identifying disease-causing microbes and developing prevention methods.
