Yes and No.

Assuming that this question refers to medieval Arab doctors, they did realize that coughing, sneezing, touching a sick person or their pustules/boils, and other forms of contact would serve to transmit diseases from person to person. However, they did not have the "germ theory of disease" which is prevalent today and asserts that microorganisms cause most ailments and these are the beings that are transmitted from person to person.

How did Islam helped spread Arabic culture?

Islam was usually transmitted with a number of Arab cultural norms, such as the Arabic language, Arab merchantry, Arab values, Arab clothing, Arab artistry, and Arab social organization (tribalism). This modified most of the cultures under Arab hegemony and, in the case of the North African Amazigh, the Egyptian Copts, the Phoenicians, Arameans, Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Judeans, it led to such an erosion of their indigenous culture, that those among them that converted to Islam were said to have performed "Ta3arib" (تعريب) or Arabization. In the case of Spain, northern Spaniards noted how Christians in southern Spain took on many of these Arab affectations and called them mozárabes, which is the corruption of the Arabic "most3arab" (مستعرب) which is a derivative of "Ta3arib".
