Pasteur is renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurisation. Remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases, his discoveries have saved countless lives ever since. Pasteur created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax and his medical discoveries provided direct support for the germ theory of disease and its application in clinical medicine. Outside of the medical profession he is best known for his invention of the technique of treating milk and wine to stop bacterial contamination, a process called pasteurisation. One of the three main founders of bacteriology (with Cohn and Koch), Pasteur is popularly known as the 'father of microbiology'.
