THEODOR ESCHERICH (1857-1911) Die Darmbakterien des Säuglings und ihre Beziehungen zur Physiologie der Verdauung. F. Enke 1886 ix, 180 pp. 26 cm.

A native German, Escherich became professor of pediatrics at Vienna. This treatise, in which he is the first to describe the intestinal organism Bacillus coli (later called Bacillus Escherichia), can still be studied profitably today.
