Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch was a German physician and Nobel laureate who is remembered (along with Louis Pasteur) as one of the founders of the science of bacteriology.
Koch was a precocious and inquisitive child (he taught himself to read and write at a young age by studying newspapers) and quickly developed a life-long interest in biology and travel.
In 1905, Koch won the Nobel prize for medicine for his work on tuberculosis and for outlining a set of rules, called Koch’s postulates, which must be satisfied before it can be accepted that a particular micro-organism (such as a bacterium or virus) causes a particular disease.

Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (1843-1910) described the role of bacteria as conveyors and causes of disease or 'pathogens' - previously the miasma theory of disease had predominated, according to which disease resulted from foul (smelling) air.
The disease appears to have been introduced into the Old World from the Americas by natives brought back by Christopher Columbus and since changed from a skin disease caused by contact; Cardinal Wolsey is believed to have infected Henry VIII with the disease.
The disease is caused by drinking contaminated water (the links was discovered in 1854 by John Snow), the bacteria was isolated by Robert Koch and Filippo Pacini.
