"Bernard is right; the pathogen is nothing; the terrain is everything." -- Louis Pasteur's deathbed words

Uh, ummm, well, yeah... whatever!

I'm sure that you are right but I did hear that his last words were,

"Whatever you do, please ensure that you spell my name correctly'.

To save you the effort, I've Googled for you. It's possible that you are alive today thanks to the work of Pasteur before he was put out to pasture.

Weird, I just had to write an essay on this guy for a test in microbiology. He did some very interesting work. I believe his focus was mostly on rabies, but he was perhaps most famous for his work to prove biogenesis.

Oy!

Ya'all missed the point!

Does he mean the way we farm the land is more important that focusing on just the control of pathogens?
