Answer 2

Standard of living

Step-by-step explanation:

Discovery of the link between germs and disease improved the standard of living in the late 1800s

• Standard of living defines the level of wealth, comfort, material goods, health, and necessities available to a group
• Proving the germ theory of disease was the crowning achievement of the French scientist Louis Pasteur
• He was not the first to propose that diseases were caused by microscopic organisms, but the view was controversial in the 19th century, and opposed the accepted theory of “spontaneous generation”
• Pasteur by a brilliant series of experiments, proved that the fermentation of wine and the souring of milk are caused by living microorganisms
• His work led to the pasteurization of milk and solved problems of agriculture and industry as well as those of animal and human diseases
• He successfully employed inoculations to prevent anthrax in sheep and cattle, chicken cholera in fowl, and finally rabies in humans and dogs
• Pasteur placed a drop of blood from a sheep dying of anthrax into a sterile culture and allowed the bacilli to grow,repeated this process until none of the original culture remained in the final dish
• The final culture produced anthrax when injected into sheep, showing that the bacillus was responsible for the disease
