Robert Koch was pivotal in the development of microbiology, particularly known for his groundbreaking work in identifying the causative agents of Infectious Diseases. His early achievements include the discovery of the bacterium responsible for anthrax in 1876, which established the germ theory of disease, and the identification of the tuberculosis bacillus in 1882. Koch also developed methods for isolating and culturing bacteria, significantly advancing laboratory techniques in microbiology. His work laid the foundation for modern bacteriology and public health practices.
