Abstract		Already one hundred years before Pasteur, our fellowcontryman M. A. Plenčič, medical doctor and professor of medicine in Vienna, explained in his book Opera medico physical (1762) the originating of contagious diseases trough spreading of specific alive contagium. His ingenious meditating resulted in the conclusion that all animal, human and plants disease are characterised by specific causes, that differ so as plants seeds do. Nowadays Plenčič is considered to be the predecessor of microbiology. In 1966, the Slovenian association of microbiologists gave for the first time Plenčič's awards to microbiologists with special merits.
Summary		Že sto let pred Pasteurejem je naš rojak Plenčič, zdravnik in profesor medicine na Dunaju, v svoji knjigi Opera medico physica (1762) razložil bolezni s širjenjem živih koontagijev, kot ga pojmujemo danes. Z bistroumnim in logičnim razmišljanjem je prišel do sklepa, da imajo vse kužne bolezni pri živalih, ljudeh in rastlinah svoje specifične povzročitelje, ki se razlikujejo med seboj kot semena rastlin. Danes imajo Plenčiča za predhodnika mikrobiologije. Slovensko mikrobiološko društvo je posebno zaslužnim slovenskim mikrobiologom podelilo leta 1996 prvič Plenčičeva odličja kot priznanje za njihovo delo.
