| Contribution | Reported confirmation of Eberth's claim for bacillus as germ of typhoid. |
| Reference | Foster |
| Notes | Ebert had failed to find the organism in many cases (see 1880) but Gaffky clinched the matter. He still did not fulfill Koch's Postulates, but considered the evidence as good as in the cases of leprosy and relapsing fever. |
