: While based on real events, the movie is a highly fictionalized "Hollywood version". For example, the character of Dr. Charbonnet is an invention used to represent the collective opposition Pasteur faced from the medical community.

: In 1860s Paris, Pasteur is widely ridiculed as a "quack" for urging doctors to wash their hands and boil instruments to prevent "childbed fever". His chief antagonist is Dr. Charbonnet, the personal physician to Emperor Napoleon III, who believes microbes are a result—not the cause—of disease.
