Chapter 1539 Pathogens

"How is the investigation team?"

Chu Yun brought some officials from the capital to Tianjin Wei just the day after the investigation team arrived, and asked as soon as he got off the train.

"The investigation team is dissecting the diseased body and tracing the source of the death... However, the investigation team's list includes Princess Sofia from Britain. She serves as the assistant of Koch, a professor of bacteriology at the Institute of Biology, to assist in the dissection and use of a device called a microscope to study the diseased body... She is afraid that something happened to her and wants to dissuade her from leaving here, but she rejected our proposal as a member of the investigation team." said an official from Tianjin Wei.

"How could Princess Sophia be here..." Chu Yun couldn't help but feel a headache.

If Charles I's sister died of a terrible plague here, he would be unable to explain it clearly.

but……

"In the face of natural disasters, she has no identity. In addition to being a princess, she is also half a scholar. It is understandable to conduct research. If something happens, I will be responsible." Chu Yun waved his hand without mind, "Let's go to the plague area to visit the patient."

"Mr. Master, you must not! It has not been proven whether it is easy to contagious. If something happens to you, the entire empire will collapse!"

When officials from Tianjin Wei heard Chu Yun say his decision, they all asked Chu Yun not to take risks.

Not only the officials of Tianjin Wei, but also the officials of the capital, also dissuaded Chu Yun from entering the plague area where patients gathered.

Just when they came to Tianjin Wei, they felt that Chu Yun's behavior was very risky, not to mention that they had to go to the plague area. If the plague could be transmitted through the air, then Chu Yun would easily have a short and short life!

Seeing that these officials were dissuading him, Chu Yun was afraid that something would happen to these officials, so he had to give up.

"If someone in the investigation team is free, then let them come and report to me about the progress." Chu Yun thought for a while, he would be useless to see those patients himself. He did not know how to cure the disease and save people.

"We'll go and contact the investigation team." Tianjin Wei officials responded.

Ella had already found several intelligence leaders from the Intelligence Department and ordered them.

Soon, news spread in the city that Chu Yun led the imperial officials to take charge. The news spread quickly, making the people feel as if they had a reassurance.

Even Chu Yun personally took the risk to come to Tianjin Wei, where the plague broke out, what fear was they?

Chu Yun temporarily settled in the Tianjin Wei government. His positioning stabilized the people's hearts. During this period, he was able to work completely normally. The continuous expansion of the telegram route can communicate quickly and effectively with the capital.

In the camp temporarily built by the investigation team, bacterologist Koch obtained the patient's body and observed it under a microscope.

Also observing was his assistant Princess Sophia.

It is not easy to find the root cause of the plague in all the samples of the disease, including blood, mucosa, etc.

Suddenly, Sophia seemed to see something disgusting, and her body trembled slightly: "What a disgusting bacteria!"

"What did you find? What sample are you observing?" Koch hurried over.

"What I should have was a sample of the intestinal mucosa." Princess Sofia looked at the sample number.

"I can't believe it, why do so many of these bacteria appear in the gastrointestinal mucosa?"

Among the patient samples observed by Sofia, Koch saw thousands of arc-shaped and tail-shaped bacilli, like a "comma", which also swam around with their tails.

"Can this be the culprit?" Sofia has studied a lot of bacteria before, and realized the problem of the inexplicable large number of arculi in the human body.

Unless unexpectedly, this Arbobacterium is likely to be the culprit.

And compared to ordinary bacteria, this bacteria may be more harmful to the human body.

"You are lucky to discover this bacteria that I have never seen before, and it may even be the first time people have realized this hidden bacteria. But we still have to study the biological properties of this bacteria before we can find a way to treat it. There are two other questions, where does this bacteria come from? How do they spread through?"

Although Koch found the most likely "culprit", he did not relax at all. Finding pathogens is only the basis for research after development. He also needs to explain the source, transmission route, pathogenic principles, and countermeasures of the bacteria.

Of course, finding the pathogen and having a direction for research is equivalent to half of success!

Koch found other members of the investigation team to announce the news to them.

Other biology professors and physicians carefully observed the Vibrio found by Princess Sofia under a microscope. The location of Vibrio appears in the stomach and intestines, which coincides with the patient's symptoms, making people suspect that it is this Vibrio that causes diarrhea and dehydration.

These doctors themselves have good biological literacy, and many of them are doctors and biologists at the same time. They have a profound research on microorganisms.

Many diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Medical skills begin to develop in the microscopic direction, and people have to begin to understand an unprecedented world - a world that cannot be directly observed with the naked eye.

"According to the anatomy results, it is very likely that this Vibrio causes gastrointestinal problems, which leads to a large amount of dehydration, and ultimately dehydration will lead to human organ failure and death. It is roughly such a simple process, and the specific pathogenic principle of Vibrio remains to be studied."

After heated discussions between biologists and physicians, they roughly determined the cause of death. A Vibrio caused severe dehydration, and the human organs died quickly due to lack of water.

"We need to divide into three teams, one specializing in the study of this Vibrio itself, one team experiments with the treatment plan, and one team goes to the city to investigate the source of this Vibrio!"

The people responsible for studying Vibrio itself are bacterologists and some doctors who study bacteria. The treatment plan is conducted by physicians and nurses, and the work of investigating the source of Vibrio is handed over to some doctors with statistical knowledge to implement.

Everyone quickly re-determined the division of labor and cooperation. To fight the plague this time, everyone needs to work together!

"Koch, is there anyone free in your biological team? The military leader needs someone to report the investigation progress." Tianjin Wei officials came over and asked.

"Sofia, go and report our progress to the military leader." Koch said to his assistant.

To be honest, Koch was not very relieved to be safe here before identifying the way this bacteria was transmitted.
