bharatiyedu Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Pasteur's proof that contaminating organisms were carried in air inspired the work of Joseph Lister [1827-1912], a British surgeon. Until the mid 19th century many people who underwent surgery survived the operation but died form infection of their wounds. Lister was the first to apply antiseptic treatment for wounds. Lister was the first to apply antiseptic surgery and the prevention of infection by insisting on absolute cleanliness in the operating theatre. Pardon Me For Any Spelling Mistakes
