| 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." | ||
| 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.[3] 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.[4] | ||
| 1878 | Koch observes bacteria bearing a close resemblance to staphylococci.[5] | ||
| 1880 | Pasteur cultivates for the first time bacteria in a fluid medium.[5] | ||
| 1880 | Publication | George M. Sternberg M.D. translation of Les bactéries becomes the first general bacteriology book in English.[6] | |
| 1881 | German Jewish physician Paul Ehrlich introduces the dye methylene blue into bacteriology.[7] | ||
| 1883 | Belfield publishes the first original general bacteriology book in English, On the Relations of Micro-organisms to Disease.[6] |
