André Chantemesse



André Chantemesse (October 23, 1851 - February 25, 1919) was a French bacteriologist. After graduation from the University of Paris in 1884, he traveled to Berlin to study bacteriology at the laboratory of Robert Koch (1843-1910). Chantemesse is primarily known for his collaborative work done with Georges-Fernand Widal (1862-1929) at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

In their research to find a vaccine for typhoid fever, Widal and Chantemesse developed an experimental serodiagnostic inoculation in 1896. The two men also isolated the bacillus that was the cause of dysentery, however they were unable to establish the aetiological link to the disease. Chantemesse also did extensive work in the study of tuberculosis.
