Time period Development summary More details

Full timeline

Year Event type Details Geographical location
2 billion BC A bacterium becomes symbiotic with the cell from which animals and plants later develop. Chromosomes from this bacterium’s mitochondria would later carry 37 genes in the human body.[1]
1676 Dutch merchant Antony Van Leeuwenhoek observes microorganisms using a single lens microscope designed by him and names them animalcules.[2]
1762
1828 Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg coins the name bacterium.[2]
c.1830 "c.1830. Turning to the study of microscopic organisms in water, soil, and dust, Ehrenberg described many new types of unicells, Protista, diatoms and general infusoria. He also demonstrated that sedimentary rocks, such as chalk, are composed of microscopic shells of ancient creatures."
1832 "1832. G.E. Winslow publishes a standard text on cholera from the pre-bacterial era, Essay on the Nature, Symptoms and Treatment of Asiatic Cholera,1832, New York: Sleight & Robinson."
1833 "1833. Johannes Peter Mueller (1801-1858), now considered the founder of modern physiology, is made Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitaet (later Humboldt-Universitaet, Humboldt University) of Berlin. His students included three pioneers in bacteriology, Schwann, Remak, and Virchow."
1835 "Ehrenberg coined the term bacillus for the spore-forming, short, rod-like organisms."
1839 " Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) demonstrates the cellular basis of the body."
1840 " Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle offers his theory of contagion in Von den Miasmen und Kontagion."
1844 " Agostino Bassi (1773-1856), an Italian entomologist, applies to human beings his theories regarding the role played by pathogenic organisms in infectious diseases."
1847 " Cranston R. Low and T.C. Dodds publish the illustrated Atlas of Bacteriology. Edinburgh: E. & S. Livingstone"
1857 ". Carl Zeiss (1816-1888), a German optical-instrument maker, produces his Stand I-compound model microscope."
1858 " Louis Pasteur published Memoire sur la fermentation appelée lactique [Memoir on Lactic Fermentation]. — the foundation stone of the cell theory, microbiology, and bacteriology."
1865 British surgeon Joseph Lister develops antiseptic surgery, which greatly increases survival rates.[3]
c.1868 German botanist Ferdinand Cohn starts studying bacteria. From his accurate studies of their morphology, or bodily form, Cohn is among the first to attempt to arrange the different varieties of bacteria into genera and species on a systematic basis.[4] Cohn studies on algae and photosynthetic bacteria would lead him to describe several bacteria including Bacillus and Beggiatoa. The field of bacteriology is considered by many to have been founded by Ferdinand Cohn.[2]
1876 Robert Koch proposes a relationship between causal agent and disease, thus establishing medical bacteriology.[5]
1878 Koch observes bacteria bearing a close resemblance to staphylococci.[6]
1878 British pioneer of antiseptic surgery Joseph Lister becomes the first person to obtain a pure culture of a bacterium (Streptococcus lactis) in a liquid medium. Lister isolates a pure culture from sour milk and names it Bacterium lactis.[7][8][9][10]
1880 Pasteur cultivates for the first time bacteria in a fluid medium.[6]
1880 Publication George M. Sternberg M.D. translation of Les bactéries becomes the first general bacteriology book in English.[11]
1881 German Jewish physician Paul Ehrlich introduces the dye methylene blue into bacteriology.[12]
1883 Belfield publishes the first original general bacteriology book in English, On the Relations of Micro-organisms to Disease.[11]
1923 The Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology is published. It is written to provide a modern identification key for bacteria but little of it is based on direct experience of the organisms.[8]
