Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 2CAE
In 1864, Lister observed that patients recovered completely from simple fractures, but that compound fractures had “disastrous consequences.” He knew that the application of phenol (carbolic acid) to fields in the town of Carlisle prevented cattle disease. Lister treated compound fractures with phenol, and his patients recovered without complications. How was Lister influenced by Pasteur’s work? Why was Koch’s work still needed?

How might the work of Winogradsky and Beijerinck have contributed to research on bacterial pathogens? Conversely, how might Koch and Pasteur have influenced Winogradsky’s and Beijerinck’s study of microbial ecology?

Choose the false statement: (Regarding Pasteur’s famous experiment) The swan necked flasks were important because they allowed the broth to remain sterile, while still remaining open to the atmosphere. Pasteur’s work with the swan neck flasks was only of importance to the food industry; his work occurred long before anyone, including Pasteur, had any awareness that diseases could be caused by microscopic agents. The swan necked flasks were used to prove that life could only arise from pre-existing cells.
