Gerhard Armauer Hansen (333 words)
In 1879 he gave tissue samples to Albert Neisser[?] who successfully stained the bacteria and announced his findings in 1880, claiming to have discovered the disease-causing organism.
There was some conflict between Neisser and Hansen, Hansen as discoverer of the bacillus and Neisser as identifier of it as the etiological agent.
Hansen's claim was injured by his failure to produce a pure culture in an artificial medium or to prove that the rod-shaped organisms were infectious.
Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser (www.whonamedit.com) (1679 words)
Neisser is remembered for his discovery of the gonococcus, the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea, for his work on lepra and the contagion of syphilis in man and animals.
Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser was born in the Silesian town of Schweidnitz near Breslau, the son of a well known Jewish physician, Moritz Neisser (1820-1896).
Neisser's paper Über eine der Gonorrhoe eigenthümliche Micrococcenfork, published in 1879, was a milestone in elucidating the aetiology of venereal diseases.
