Kitasato Shibasaburō
Baron Kitasato Shibasaburō (北里 柴三郎; Japanese pronunciation: [k̟ʲi̥.tä́.(d͡)zä́.tó̞ | ɕì.bä́.sä́.bɯ̈̀.ɾò̞ò̞, -tó̞ ɕí-]; January 29 [O.S. 17 January], 1853 – June 13, 1931) was a Japanese physician and bacteriologist. He is remembered as the co-discoverer of the infectious agent of bubonic plague in Hong Kong during an outbreak in 1894, almost simultaneously with Alexandre Yersin. Kitasato was nominated for the first annual Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1901. Kitasato and Emil von Behring, working together in Berlin in 1890, announced the discovery of diphtheria antitoxin serum. Von Behring was awarded the 1901 Nobel Prize because of this work, but Kitasato was not.
