Growing poliomyelitis viruses is more challenging than culturing the bacilli that cause diphtheria primarily due to their differing natures; polioviruses are obligate intracellular pathogens that require living host cells for replication, whereas diphtheria bacilli (Corynebacterium diphtheriae) can grow on artificial media. Additionally, polioviruses need specific cell lines for propagation, which can be more complex and require stringent conditions, while diphtheria bacilli can thrive in standard laboratory environments. This dependence on living cells makes the cultivation of polioviruses more labor-intensive and technically demanding.
bacilli bacteria (Bacillus anthracis) causes anthrax in sheep and humans, and (lactobacillus) causes tooth decay and is also an ingredient in yogurt. Bacilli can cause tetanus (lockjaw) typhoid feaver, tuberculosis, and diphtheria (Milady's Standard Cosmetology ~source)

Robert Koch, a German physician and microbiologist, isolated the tubercle bacilli in 1882. He identified the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the cause of tuberculosis, revolutionizing the understanding and treatment of the disease.
Today there are approximately 0-5 cases of diphtheria per year in the United States.

Bacilli is plural. The singular is bacillus.
The diphtheria test, specifically the Schick test, was developed in 1913 by the Austrian bacteriologist Béla Schick. This test was designed to determine an individual's susceptibility to diphtheria by injecting a small amount of diphtheria toxin and observing the reaction. It played a significant role in understanding immunity to the disease.
