Overview
Literature on aspiration pneumonia came in to knowledge of medical society along with discovery of pneumonia. Major break through came when x-ray was invented by Roentgen in 1896 .
Historical Perspective
Following are important land mark events that shows how aspiration pneumonia became an important entity of critical care:
| Year | Events |
|---|---|

| 1875 | Bacteria was first seen in the airways of individuals who died from pneumonia by Edwin Klebs |
| 1848 | worked on identifying the two common bacterial causes Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae was performed by Carl Friedländer |
| 1893 | Veillon was first to write about role of anaerobic bacteria in aspiration pneumonia |
| 1896 | Roentgen describes X-rays. |
| 1918 | Sir William Osler, known as "the father of modern medicine," appreciated the morbidity and mortality of pneumonia, describing it as the "captain of the men of death" |
| 1927 | Smith was first to clearly show anaerobic bacterial growth in animal models suffered aspiration pneumonia |
