Editing Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (section)

==History==
''Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae'' was first isolated by [[Robert Koch]] in 1876. A few years later the bacterium was recognised as the cause of erysipelas in pigs and in 1884 the organism was first established as a human pathogen.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Dworkin |editor1-first=Martin |editor2-last=Falkow |editor2-first=Stanley |editor3-last=Rosenberg |editor3-first=Eugene |editor4-last=Schleifer |editor4-first=Karl-Heinz |editor5-last=Stackebrandt |editor5-first=Erko |title=Bacteria: Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria |date=2006 |publisher=Springer |location=New York, NY |isbn=0387254943 |pages=492–510 |edition= 3rd}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Rosenbach |first1=F.J. |title=Experimentelle, morphologische und klinische Studie über die krankheitserregenden Mikrooganismen des Schweinerotlaufs, des Erysipeloids und der Mäusesepsis |journal=Zeitschrift für Hygiene und Infektionskrankheiten |date=1909 |volume=63 |pages=343–371|doi=10.1007/BF02227897 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/2132783 }}</ref> In 1909, the genus was named ''Erysipelothrix''.
