Louis Pasteur is widey regarded as father of germ theory.In fact he proved and established the theory rather than coming up with this thiory. Girolamo Fracastoro, Agostino Bassi introduced the theory almost in the modern form.Even many centuries before them many propositions of disease origin by germs or small organisms were suggested by several investigators.The proof of germ theory was devised by Robert Koch by his Koch's postulates.Koch and Pasteur are widely regarded as pioneers or fathers of germ theory.
