[The new terms of "infectious diseases": the birth of the clinical bacteriology and infectious pathology in France].
The terms of "infectious diseases" appeared for the first time in Charles Bouchard's classification at the beginning of the twentieth century. Louis Pasteur's role was significant in the birth of a new pathology but the common physicians had to assume the conception of a new branch of medicine. Alain Contrepois describes the moving of French medicine from 1870 to 1914, outside the German bacteriology whose knowledge remained misunderstood owing to the political circumstances.
