he became famous by isolating Bacillus anthracis ( 1877 ) the tuberculosis bacillus ( 1822 ) and the vibrio cholerae .

Edit:

Robert Koch was instrumental in modifying the scientific method to prove that a given pathogen caused a specific disease. He was the first to discover that bacteria are responsible for causing diseases, and the theory was called Germ theory of disease.
