		Shibasaburo Kitasato was born in Oguni, Kyushu, Japan and was noted as a well known Japanese bacteriologist whose most significant contributions to the field of bacteriology dealt with tetanus and diphtheria.
		Kitasato was one of the first to discover the bacteria responsible for tetanus - tetanus bacillus (Clostridium tetani) and the bacteria responsible for bubonic plague.
		During the course of his professional life, Kitasato was appointed the director of the Institute for Infectious Diseases in 1892 and also in that same year the laboratory which he had founded was incorporated as the Imperial Japanese Institute for the Study of Infectious Diseases and later merged with the University of Tokyo.

		Unlike Kitasato, however, Yersin is not welcomed by the British establishment and certainly not by Lowson, who thwarts his efforts at every turn, denying him laboratory space and even access to plague victims at the hospital.
		Kitasato announces that he has discovered the plague bacillus in the blood of the Hong Kong victims and publishes his findings in the Lancet.

		Just as Pasteur was pioneering rabies inoculation in Paris, tens of thousands were still to die from a disease made even more terrifying by the absence of any certainty, not only about how to treat it, but even of the method of its transmission.
		Professor Shibasaburo Kitasato, a celebrated Japanese bacteriologist, was summoned to Hong Kong by colonial satraps.
		Kitasato was feted by colonial administrators, and announced shortly afterwards - and wrongly - that he had solved the mystery.

		From 1885 to 1891 Kitasato studied in Robert Koch's laboratory in Berlin, where, with Emil von Behring, he studied tetanus and diphtheria bacilli.
		In 1890 he and Behring demonstrated the value of antitoxin in preventing disease by producing a passive immunity to tetanus in an animal that received graded injections of blood serum from another animal infected with the disease.
		Returning to Japan in 1892, Kitasato founded near Tokyo a laboratory that in 1899 was incorporated as the Imperial Japanese Institute for the Study of Infectious Diseases, and showed with his associates (among them, August von Wassermann) how dead cultures can be used in vaccination.

		Kitasato came from Japan; only the year before they had met in Koch's laboratory, Kitasato had identified the microbe which caused tetanus and shown that its danger to man lay in the toxin it produced.
		Together, von Behring and Kitasato were able to demonstrate that the rabbit could be immunized against tetanus in the same way as it could against diphtheria.
		Kitasato, without whom the serum might never have come into being, deserved just as much credit as von Behring for the work, but apparently was neglected by the Nobel Prize Commitee.

		The administration of diphtheria antitoxin, which was successfully marketed in 1892, became a routine part of the treatment of the disease.
