| Contribution | Reported studies on septicemia and putrefaction. |
| Reference | Bullock |
| Notes | Concluded from his experiments "thus septicemia is a putrefaction, a putrefaction occurring in the blood of a live animal." Also said that the agent of septicemia "thus became more active in passing through the system of a live animal." Some uncertainty about the year. Have read elsewhere that he reported, in this year, evidence that cause was bacterial. Was this stated explicitly? |
