Weikselbaum Diplococcus

Weixelbaum Diplococcus is a bacterium that was discovered by the Austrian pathologist August Weixelbaum in 1875. Diplococci are gram-negative, nonmotile, nonsporulating bacteria. They are part of the Neisseriaceae family, which includes bacteria such as Neisseria, Moraxella and others.

Diplococci can cause various diseases in humans and animals. For example, they can cause urinary tract infections, pneumonia, meningitis and other diseases. In addition, diplococci can also cause diseases in plants, such as diseases in wheat.

Various methods are used to diagnose diplococcal infections, including microscopy, culture on culture media and molecular genetic methods. Treatment of diplococcal infections depends on the specific disease and may include the use of antibiotics, immunomodulators and other medications.

Weixelbaum Diplococcus is an important bacterium that can cause various diseases. However, thanks to modern diagnostic and treatment methods, diplococcal infections can be successfully treated and prevented.



Weixelbaum was a renowned Austrian pathologist who made significant contributions to the development of clinical medicine and medical science in general. He was born in 1846 in Austria-Hungary and began his career as a physician and researcher in pathology. In 1912 he returned to Vienna and became professor of pathology at the University of Vienna.

Weichselbaum's most notable contribution was his research on Weichselbaum's diplococcus, the bacteria that causes diplobacillosis. Diplobacillosis is caused by pathogenic bacteria localized on the skin and in the respiratory tract. In the 20s of the twentieth century, the role of Weixelkab as a pathogen was refuted. These bacteria represent an acute infection of the external auditory canal. They were first described by the famous physician and pathologist, Professor Weichsel in 1906. Despite the fact that the diagnosis
