| Contribution | Reported Streptobacillus moniliformis as cause of rat-bit fever. |
| Reference | Lee |
| Notes | Henry Vandyke Carter. According to Lee, this event came 47 years after the first report was made by Whitman Wilcox -- but Lee does not cite Wilcox separately. If this was a valid demonstration of bacterial causation, it is notable that it was not cited by Garrison or Lechevalier. |
