Abstract
December, 2022, will see two notable anniversaries: the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Pasteur and the third anniversary of China's announcement of the outbreak that would lead to the COVID-19 pandemic. These coinciding events provide an opportunity to reflect on past and current global challenges to bring epidemics under control. Pasteur himself was inextricably connected with a late 19th-century social hygienist movement to promote the health of populations and cities.1 With other noteworthy scientists, including Robert Koch, Agostino Bassi, and Joseph Lister, Pasteur helped to generate a new field of microbiology, developing new knowledge on fermentation, biogenesis, and germ theory.
