Lister was the first to suggest that the microbes studied by Louis Pasteur were the main cause of infection from wounds, particularly those in surgery, and the first to use an antiseptic (specifically, carbolic acid) during surgery. He was able to show that doing so reduced the rate of deadly infections following surgery from about 50% to about 5%. Prior to Lister's work, going to a hospital was one of the most dangerous things a person could do; after that, it became much safer.
