- Please explain in descriptive language, thanks

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Although germ theory — the understanding that microorganisms cause many diseases — was first proposed in the 16th century and honed by the work of Louis Pasteur 300 years later, it wasn’t until Sir Joseph Lister actually began applying that knowledge in the 1860s that medicine changed for the better because of it.
