Abstract
Toennissen (1912, 1914, 1915, 1921a and b) was the first worker to draw attention to the serologic specificity of klebsiella capsules and to demonstrate the carbohydrate nature of the capsular antigens. Julianelle (1926a and b) clearly demonstrated the existence of three distinct capsule types of klebsiella, and Goslings and Snijders (1936) extended the number of capsular types to six. It was found by these workers that type C of Julianelle occurred typically in rhinoscleroma, while their new types, D, E, and F, were isolated from cases of ozaena. Up to this time the work on the capsular types of klebsiella, or Friedlander's bacillus, had been confined almost entirely to cultures from infections of the upper respiratory tract and from the sequelae of such infections.
