How did Joseph lister William Roberts Louis Pasteur and jules francois joubert each contribute to your understading of how bacterial substances can stop or slow down the growth of bacteria?

Joseph Lister pioneered antiseptic techniques in surgery, demonstrating that using carbolic acid could reduce infections by killing bacteria. William Roberts contributed by studying the effects of bacteria on human health, highlighting the need for disinfectants. Louis Pasteur's germ theory established that microorganisms cause disease, leading to the development of pasteurization, which kills harmful bacteria in food and drink. Jules François Joubert furthered the understanding of bacterial growth inhibition through his research on disinfectants and antiseptics, emphasizing their role in controlling bacterial proliferation.
