Semmelweis noted that women who were delivered my midwives were much less likely to die of "child-bed" fever. Doctors who delivered babies also did autopsies and didn't wash or used antiseptic methods. His finding were dismissed by many and because of this many women died. All this occurred long before before the Germ Theory of Disease was first postulated.

How did the germ theory of disease get its name?
While Pasteur was not the first to propose germ theory (Girolamo Fracastoro, Agostino Bassi, Friedrich Henle and others had suggested it earlier), he developed it and conducted experiments that clearly indicated its correctness and managed to convince most of Europe it was true. Today he is often regarded as the father of germ theory and bacteriology, together with Robert Koch.
