How did Pasteur solve Spallanzani's problem of limiting exposure to air?

Pasteur solved Spallanzani’s problem of limiting exposure to air by using a flask with bent neck which allowed air to pass but did not allow microorganisms which are present in the air to reach the broth.

Pasteur was a scientist who was a pioneer of the process of pasteurization, in which we prevent liquids most importantly milk is heated to prevent spoiling due to bacteria.
