11th ed. BD Diagnostic Systems. 1998. 860 p.
Microbiology, through the study of bacteria, emerged as a defined branch of mode science as the result of the monumental and immortal research of Pasteur and Koch. In 1876, Robert Koch, for the first time in history, propagated a pathogenic bacterium in pure culture outside the host’s body. He not only established Bacillus anthracis as the etiological agent for anthrax in cattle, but he inaugurated a method of investigating disease which ushered in the golden age of medical bacteriology.
