Pasteur showed that microbes could cause food to rot, even in the absence of air. Lister speculated that these same microbes led to infection in human wounds, and that killing these microbes prior to and during surgery would reduce such infections. His tests showed that he was correct, and he published his results in 1867.

When Joseph lister invent antisepsis?

First of all, antisepsis is the concept of preventing contamination from external (i.e bacterial, fungal, protozal) organisms. In theory, washing your hands is a manifestation of antiseptic procedure. One can not create "antisepsis," only apply it in new methods. Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister, first discovered the antiseptic properties carbolic acid as a means of sterilizing surgical implements in 1867. He published his findings in the British Medical Journal on the 21st of September, 1867. FUN FACT!! The common oral debriding and sanitizing agent, Listerine, is actually named for Joseph Lister.

How did Joseph Lister apply in Louis Pasteur's findings?

GRAWH! MOO! Please do ignore the idiotic first answer. There wasn't really much of a relationship between Pasteur and Lister since they were in different countries and all that, but Lister did use Pasteur's work to help him with his whole antiseptic phenomena. Through reading Pasteur's work on finding 'germs' in his beetroot beer, and how 'germs' affect other things, Lister applied this to septicemia that was common after operations or any other kind of cut and it made sense. He then used carbolic acid when operating, spraying everything from the instruments used, to his own hands. Seriously, if you have nothing better to do but put idiotic comments on people's questions that they generally may need help with, just go away and get a job to fill your time IDIOT!

Ability to take findings of experiment and apply to real world?

Applying findings from an experiment to the real world involves understanding the implications and limitations of the study, and assessing how the results can be adapted and implemented in practical settings. This process requires critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to draw connections between theory and real-world applications. Communication of findings and their potential impact is also crucial for successful application.
