Carl Friedländer (1847 in Brieg (Brzeg), Silesia - 1887, Meran (Merano), County of Tyrol) was a German pathologist and microbiologist who helped discover the bacterial cause of pneumonia in 1882. [1] He also first described thromboangiitis obliterans. Edwin Klebs had seen bacteria in the airwys of individuals who died from pneumonia in 1975; in 1882 Friedländer recognized that those bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae from the lungs of people who died from pneumonia were the likely cause of thier pneumonia. [2] As a result, Klebsiella pneumoniae is often called Friedländer's bacterium or Friedländer's bacillus.[3]

In 1886, he introduced the ampoule in medicine.
