Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (1843–1910)
Robert Koch (1843–1910) discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the organism that causes tuberculosis and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905.
Tuberculosis has been described under many names, in the 19th century its name evolved from phthisis to consumption and then, after Koch’s discovery, to tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is still one of the most common preventable disease of mankind, especially among the poor.
