Review of early research on anaerobes.
It has been one hundred years since the appearance of the first clinical paper on infection involving anaerobic bacteria, an article that also detailed recovery of and description of the organisms responsible for the infection. We pay tribute to the author of that landmark paper, André Veillon, in celebration of the centennial of this important occasion.
