KOCH

NOTE: Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britanica, Biographical

1. Robert Koch, in full Robert Heinrich Hermann Koch 1843 – 1910; Ger. Bacteriologist and physician. He astounded his parents at the age of five by telling them that he had, with the aid of the newspapers, taught himself to read, a feat which foreshadowed the intelligence and methodical persistence which were to be so characteristic of him in later life. Koch was a celebrated German physician and pioneering microbiologist. The founder of modern bacteriology, he was known for his role in identifying the specific causative agents of tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax and for giving experimental support the concept of infectious disease. Koch created and improved laboratory technologies and techniques in the field of microbiology, and made key discoveries in public health. His research led to the creation of Koch’s postulates, a series of four generalized principles linking specific microorganisms to specific diseases that remain today the “gold standard” in medical microbiology. Koch received the Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine in 1905.
