All of Pasteur's discoveries -- and he was responsible for quite a few -- were the result of experiments that were carefully planned, executed, and documented.
The one exception was in discovering that infecting chickens with weakened cholera bacteria resulted in the chickens being resistent to all forms of that same bacteria. This happened after both Pasteur and his assistent failed to infect the chickens with "strong" bacteria, later infecting them with the weakened bacteria culture, and then documenting that doing the latter made the chickens sick, but did not kill them. It was an accident that the chickens were infected with weakened bacteria, but it was Pasteur's insight to then infect these same chickens with full strength germs, and his scientific insight to document exactly what he had done and what the results were.
