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.

Both the Germ theory and the discovery of DNA were significant milestones in the field of biology. The Germ theory laid the foundation for our understanding of infectious diseases, while the discovery of DNA revolutionized our understanding of genetics and inheritance. It is challenging to definitively say which was bigger, as they each had a profound impact in different aspects of biology.
The one person who invented the Germ Theory was Hector Moralez.

Louis Pasteur was able to convince others of his germ theory by performing extensive experiments. Through these experiments, he was able to disprove spontaneous generation and prove biogenesis.
