German bacteriologist who was born on March 10, 1848 in Frankfurt, and died on July 6, 1916 in Berlin.
In 1866 he began his medical studies in Munich. He graduated in 1870 with a thesis on en1872 Addison's disease and was licensed to practice medicine. Initially devoted to internal medicine and obstetrics, but finally took up the study of lung disease after suffering from tuberculosis.
Discoverer of ouabain, a potent cardiac glycoside obtained from the African plant of the genus Strophanthus and used in heart failure. In addition to his contributions to cardiology, undertook bacteriological research culminating in the demonstration and the cultivation of Streptococcus pneumoniae (also known bacteria Fraenkel in his honor) from the sputum of patients with pneumonia.
Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus is a pathogen that can cause various human infections and severe invasive processes. Is a Gram positive bacteria from 1.2 to 1.8 microns in length, has an oval shape and the distal end lanceolate. It still does not form endospores, and is a member of the genus alpha-hemolytic streptococcus. Generally, in the form of diplococcus, for what was initially called Diplococcus pneumoniae. Author
