Sydney Rowland "made his career move to bacteriology after qualifying with the conjoint diploma (M.R.CS, L.R.C.P.) in April 1897. He was elected to the Council of the Röntgen Society in November 1898, but by then he was totally committed to laboratory medicine. In 1898 was appointed Assistant Bacteriologist at the Lister Institute, (founded in London 1891 and before 1903 was called the British Institute of Preventative Medicine) which was based in a large new building in Chelsea. The topics covered by the Institute included bacteriology, immunology, virology, cancer research and biochemistry. In 1905 Sydney Rowland and George Petrie went out to Bombay to work on the Commission for the Inve stigation of Plague in India. He remained for three years and undertook extensive experiments dissecting hundreds of thousands of dead rats. Eventually the Commission was able to prove that it was rat fleas which were responsible for the spread of plague. Back in the United Kingdom Rowland worked with the bacillus pestia (the plague organism) to attempt to make a vaccine against the plague. In 1909 one of Rowland's team at the Lister, fell ill with pneumonic plague and died within three days." Richard F. Mould : Sydney Rowland (1872-1917) World's first editor of an X-ray journal, 1896.
