Louis Pasteur became interested in germs while investigating the causes of spoilage in beverages, particularly wine and milk. His research into fermentation led him to discover that microorganisms were responsible for these processes. This prompted him to explore the role of germs in disease, ultimately leading to his groundbreaking work in microbiology and the development of germ theory. His findings revolutionized our understanding of hygiene and the prevention of infections.
