| Author | Pasteur |
| Contribution | a. Reported that putrefaction is caused by organized ferments of genus Vibrio. |
| Reference | Bullock |
| Notes | Described succession of organisms in putrefaction. Bullock says this influenced putrefaction work, which then went along two lines - (a) chemical action; (b) microbes as cause of sepsis and wound infection. Does not say Pasteur directly linked germs and sepsis etc. Is Bullock's ambiguity (p. 133) significant? |
