KOCH, Robert (1843-1910). Zur Untersuchung von pathogenen Organismen . Offprint from the Mittheilungen des Kaiserlichen Gesundheits-Amtes . Berlin: Druck und Verlag der Norddeutschen Buchdruckerei und Verlagsanstalt, 1881. Large 8 o (300 x 220 mm). Caption title. 14 colloype plates, each with 6 microphotographic images. (Occasional light marginal foxing, some marginal finger-soiling.) Original linen-backed printed gray boards (minor staining to upper cover, small tears to extremities of spine). Provenance : Dr. Peter Ludvig Panum (1820-1885), physiologist, the first to investigate the chemical products of putrefaction (author's presentation inscription on front cover). PRESENTATION COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION, RARE OFFPRINT ISSUE, of an extension of Koch's 1877 paper on the methods of studying, conserving, and photographing bacteria. In this work, which "long remained the basic instructional manual for bacteriological laboratories" (DSB), Koch describes his techniques for growing bacterial cultures in nutrient gelatin solutions, for "dry-fixing thin films of bacteria on glass slides, for staining them with aniline dyes, and for recording their structure by micro-photography" (DSB). His plate technique for cultivating bacteria "provided the first consistent method for obtaining pure cultures of virtually any species of bacteria" (Grolier Medicine 80), and paved the way for his later discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1905. Koch's "application of bacteriology to medicine can be said to have provided the first scientific approach to the control of infectious disease" (Grolier Medicine ). IMPORTANT PRESENTATION COPY OF A PARTICULARLY RARE OFFPRINT. Panum's work "had great significance for the doctrine of putrid intoxication" (Garrison-Morton 2534). Garrison-Morton 2495 (journal issue); Grolier/Horblit 60 (journal issue); Norman 1230.
