Carl Fraenkel (1861-1915) trained as a doctor at Leipzig before studying with Koch in Berlin. In 1891 he became Professor Bacteriology at Konigsberg; in 1895, he took up a post at Marburg. In 1887 he had published Grundriss der Bakterienkunde (Berlin: Hirschwald); this volume was translated into English by J.H. Linsley, a professor of pathology and bacteriology at the University of Vermont, and published in 1891. His broad interests and studies covered cholera, diphtheria, meningococcus, gonococcus, and even typhus, in connection with which he published Ueber den mikroskopischen Nachweis der Typhusbacillen in Blutpräparaten in 1906.
