This article says that Dr. Warren discovered Helicobacter pylori in 1979. However, the Helicobacter pylori article says that the bacterium was originally seen in 1875, first suspected to cause disease in 1899, and "rediscovered" by Dr. Marshall and Dr. Warren in 1982. I am wondering if somebody can double-check whether the 1979 date or the 1982 date is correct? 69.140.157.138 02:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm somewhat amused that both Robin Warren and Howard Florey have a couple of things in common. Both are from the University of Adelaide, and both owe their prizes in large part to the fact the other recipient left the the petri dish out too long. Is this a common occurence in medicine?
