In 1888, Eisenlohr isolated short rods in pure form in Colpohyperplasia cystica and in one similar disease of the bladder and intestine, and these bacilli formed gas in agar, gelatin and broth. Although subcutaneous inoculations of rabbits and guinea pigs were unsuccessful, Eisenlohr considers the bacilli he isolated as highly probable pathogens of emphysematous colpitis.
