Detailed explanation-1: -In 1861, Pasteur published his Germ Theory. This was a turning point in medicine as he argued that microbes in the air caused decay, not the other way round as was commonly believed. He also suggested that specific germs caused diseases.
Detailed explanation-2: -The germ theory has become a dogma because it neglects the many other factors which have a part to play in deciding whether the host/germ/environment complex is to lead to infection. Among these are susceptibility, genetic constitution, behaviour, and socioeconomic determinants.
