Louis Pasteur likely worked with a hypothesis similar to this one:
"If liquids are heated to a certain temperature and germs die, then the liquids will be less likely to cause sickness when consumed, because reducing germs is a way to prevent disease.”
How was this new hypothesis most likely inspired by the work of Joseph Lister?
Lister had taught that boiling water makes it safer to drink.
Lister’s experiments showed that reducing germs during surgery prevented infection.
Lister’s experiments showed that germs can cause infection no matter how they enter the body.
Lister had established the fact that germs grow and spread through air and foods.
