Definition of Pasteur, Louis
Pasteur, Louis definition - medical term
French chemist and biologist (1822-1895) who invented pasteurization, developed the germ theory, founded the field of bacteriology and created the first vaccines against anthrax and rabies.
Pasteur's impact upon medicine was so profound that his name remains attached to pasteurization; the Pasteur effect; pasteurella; pasteurellaceae; pasteurellaceae infections; pasteurella haemolytica; pasteurella infections; pasteurella multocida; pasteurellosis, pneumonic; pasteurism; etc.
Pasteurization is so much a part of our lives that we tend not to think about it. It is a method of treating food by heating it just enough to kill pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms but not harm the flavor or quality of the food. Pasteurization is used with beer, milk, cheese and egg products. Fresh-squeezed unpasteurized fruit juices are a potential hazard, as some E. coli outbreaks have sadly shown.
