Carl Friedländer (1847-1887) was a German pathologist and microbiologist who helped discover the bacterial cause of pneumonia in 1882. He also first described thromboangiitis obliterans. He first identified the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae from the lungs of people who died from pneumonia. As a result, Klebsiella pneumoniae is often called Friedländer's bacterium.
