This traditional viewpoint is responsible for the fact that its common synonyms are Bacillus pneumoniae and Pneumobacillus and that its modern scientific designation according to the Bergey2 bacteriological nomenclature is Klebsiella pneumoniae. Infections of other parts of the body with this organism are generally regarded as relatively less common.Our bacteriological experience with 198B. friedlanderinfections is recorded because it contradicts this conception of the predominant rôle played by the...Bibliography1.
