Frenkel's Diplococcus

Frenkel Dilococcus (1849-1907) was an Austrian physician known for his work in the study of microbiology and infectious diseases. He was one of the first scientists to study diplococci, bacteria shaped like a double coccus (double ball). These bacteria cause diseases such as gonorrhea and meningitis.

Frenkel studied diplococci for many years using various microscopy techniques. His research allowed him to determine that diplococci are gram-negative bacteria that can grow in a variety of environments. He also discovered that these bacteria can cause disease in humans, especially children.

One of Frenkel's most important discoveries was that the gonococci that cause gonorrhea are diplococci. This discovery made it possible to develop effective treatments for gonorrhea and prevent the spread of this infection.

In addition, Frenkel developed methods for diagnosing gonorrhea, which are still used today. He also studied other diseases caused by diplococci, such as meningitis and pneumonia.

Frenkel's work helped improve the understanding of microbiology, infectious diseases and their treatments. His works are still important for medicine and science in general.

Frenkel, Samuil Yoselevich Diplococcus (Diplococcus Frenkelii), (in English spelling often referred to as Frankel's Diplococcus or Diplococcus frenkei). Also Diplococcus freunkei. Synonyms. A. Frenke: Diplococcus diplobius Freunke, Diplococcus aerogenes Freunke. This name is given by the name of the author - German microbiologist S. Frendis.

Frenkel's diplococcus (Diplococcus fredkei) is a microorganism of the Mycobacterium family; spore-forming stick with tall droplets.

The microorganism was discovered in 1893 due to erysipelas of the skin (erysipelas).
