Discovery of Antiseptic
Hello friends. The information provided here will be of great use for people those who are interested in science and technology. There were a lot of great scientists who made a lot of mind boggling inventions. Louis Pasteur, a French Scientist, discovered an proved that micro –organisms cause fermentation and disease. A surgeon Joseph Lister, who was working in an hospital in Glasgow, Scotland read the article written by Louis Pasteur which said that these organisms, called bacteria are germs, were responsible for spoiling meat and milk. Pasteur also said that these germs float in the air. Dr. Lister was worried about the patients who used to undergo surgery at his hospital, because many of them later developed infections and died. No one knew how to stop such infections . When he read Louis Pasteur’s paper, he wondered if the same organisms were responsible of people. He used a chemical called “carbolic acid” as an antiseptic to fight infection. He also made sure that all surgeons cleaned their instruments in this substance before they performed their operations. Today, no doctor would ever operate on a patient without first washing his hands and instruments in an antiseptic. Thus antiseptic was born.
