**Microbiopolitics:** ::: The creation of categories of microscopic biological agents. People view microbiopolitics through various lenses from Pasteurian to Post-Pasteurian. The Pasteurian lens views microbes through the lens of warfare, hygiene, or the fear of infection. With a heavy emphasis on antibiotics, even when they are not needed. While the Post-Pasteurian lens views microbes as already a part of our body and has a heavy emphasis on probiotics. You could think of the Post-Pasteurians as those that have embraced [[Terrain Theory]] and the Pasteurians, as having embraced, [[Germ Theory]]. ## Sources: - [[Ostendorf-Rodriguez, Yasmine (2023) Let's Become Fungal]] - [[Miasma, Terrain, & Germ Theory]] - [[Terrain Theory]]
