La version française de l’article est disponible à la suite de la version anglaiseLouis Pasteur is celebrated by the scientific community and by the general public as the founding father of microbiology. But what is microbiology if not the science of living organisms that have in common their “small size”? …. They are alive but we can only see them under the microscope or … not at all. In a very singular way, Pasteur became interested in these microscopic organisms—microbes or “germs”—not because of their size but, from the outset, from the point of view of the chemist and even the physicist. His constant preoccupation has always been to apply the method and strategies of the basic sciences to living processes, whatever the scale of the organism concerned: today we would say “from the molecule to the brain”. His fundamental aim was, throughout his work, went beyond the biology of microbes, to the chemistry of life. In this brief article, I would like to show that this disposition and experience of a chemist is the sign of the originality of Pasteur’s entire work (see also Duclau
