Sažetak
The thirty-second anniversary of the Institute for Microbiology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, University of Zagreb, is a good chance to remember all the events which led to its foundation, as well as the events and people who for the last 120 years have developed the education of pharmacists as health workers in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry. The subject which we nowadays call microbiology, was once called Hygiene. This was defined as the prevention of communicable diseases and the improvement of health standards in the population. The term microbiology was introduced in the 1920-ies, as the science which investigates the microscopic microorganisms which are agents of the spread of diseases. But how did microbiology develop within Zagreb University in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry and how did the important discoveries in the field of microbiology influence the development of microbiology as a university discipline is presented here.
