Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pasteur also worked to create a vaccine for anthrax . In his experiment, Pasteur gave 25 animals two shots of an anthrax vaccine he had created with weakened anthrax bacteria . After he gave both rounds of the vaccine to these animals, he injected them with live anthrax bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Early work on the development of a vaccine against anthrax in animals was carried out in the 1880s by W. S. Greenfield and by Louis Pasteur (Turnbull, 1991). What became known as Pasteur’s vaccine used an encapsulating nontoxigenic strain of B.

Detailed explanation-3: -He developed the earliest vaccines against fowl cholera, anthrax, and rabies. Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) is revered by his successors in the life sciences as well as by the general public.

Detailed explanation-4: -On July 6, 1885, Louis Pasteur and his colleagues injected the first of 14 daily doses of rabbit spinal cord suspensions containing progressively inactivated rabies virus into 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been severely bitten by a rabid dog 2 days before.

Detailed explanation-5: -The up-shot of this public triumph of Pasteur’s vaccine was that he received credit for developing the first successful vaccine against anthrax.
