John Snow's Life Span
John Snow is considered to be the one of the
founders of modern microbiology. This is
mainly due to his work in tracing the source of
the Cholera outbreak in London. He mapped
out cases of Cholera and determined
that the cases were mainly around the water
pumps, where citizens would go to get water.
He observed that the water companies
were taking the water through sewage areas,
before taking it to the pumps. His work led to
an improvement in waste systems around the world. (mar 15, 1813 – jun 16, 1858)
