Gary, don't forget about Ignaz Semmelweis. He lived around the same time as Pasteur and made research about antiseptic practices in obstetrics.

Actually Pasteur was the first to realize sterilization was crucial in treating patients and he was thought to be crazy by his peers. So this question actually had two correct answers but you have to answer the one they want That's how you play the game.
