Overview

A review is presented of achievements of Czechoslovak, Czech, and Slovak microbiologists in the identification of microorganisms named after geographical locations or their discoverers. Without a fortunate coincidence of circumstances and the rigorous work of microbiologists, there could be gaps in our scientific knowledge we use to our benefit and which will always remain part of the heritage in the area of microbiology of both nations - Czechs and Slovaks. .

KEYWORDS:
