Description
Klein writes: 'The microbe, which was first described by Klebs (at the Wiesbaden Congress in 1883), then isolated and grow n in artificial cultures by Löffler (‘Mitth. aus dem K. Gesundheitsamte,' vol. 2) from human diphtheritic membrane, was shown by this observer to act virulently on various animals. The Klebs-Löffler bacillus— by which name the diphtheria microbe is known— is the one with which also Roux and Yersin ('Annales de l’lnstitut Pasteur,' vol. 2,1888, No. 12) obtained positive results on guinea-pigs.'
