American Association Of Pathologists And Bacteriologists
The American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists (AAPB) was an American national professional association established in 1901, devoted to fundamental science and academic medicine as distinct from clinical medicine. In 1976, they joined with the American Society for Experimental Pathology (ASEP) to form the American Association of Pathologists (AAP), which in 1992 became the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP). The AAPB took over the ''Journal of the Boston Society of Medical Sciences'', and renamed it the ''Journal of Medical Research''. The first issue was published in July 1901. In 1924 the Council voted to end the ''Journal of Medical Research'' and with a grant from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the AAPB started the '' American Journal of Pathology'' on January 1, 1925, noting on the cover that it was a continuation of the ''Journal of Medical Research''.

Professional Association
A professional association (also called a professional body, professional organization, or professional society) usually seeks to advocacy, further a particular profession, the interests of individuals and organisations engaged in that profession, and the public interest. In the United States, such an association is typically a nonprofit organization, nonprofit business league for tax purposes. Roles The roles of professional associations have been variously defined: "A group, of people in a learned occupation who are entrusted with maintaining control or oversight of the legitimate practice of the occupation;" also a body acting "to safeguard the public interest;" organizations which "represent the interest of the professional practitioners," and so "act to maintain their own privileged and powerful position as a controlling body." Professional associations are ill defined although often have commonality in purpose and activities. In the UK, the Science Council defines a profess ...

Theobald Smith
Theobald Smith FRS(For) HFRSE (July 31, 1859 – December 10, 1934) was a pioneering epidemiologist, bacteriologist, pathologist and professor. Smith is widely considered to be America's first internationally-significant medical research scientist. Smith's research work included the study of babesiosis (originally known as ''Texas cattle fever'') and the more-general epidemiology of cattle diseases caused by tick borne diseases. He also described the bacterium ''Salmonella enterica'' (formerly called ''Salmonella choleraesuis''), a species of ''Salmonella'', named for the Bureau of Animal Industry chief Daniel E. Salmon. Additional work in studying the phenomena of anaphylaxis led to it being referred to as the ''Theobald Smith phenomenon''. Smith's contribution that is well known even by many laypeople is called the "law of declining virulence". This is based on his disproved notion that there is a “delicate equilibrium” between host and pathogen and that they develop a ...
