Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old, he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle's shop.
After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school. After graduating from high school, he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes.
Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病)in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt , at the Experimental Therapy Institute. He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine (消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗) in 1913.
Levaditi returned to Romania in1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania's national health system and its political parties. He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals. Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920. That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused.
In 1926, Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素)and other medicines.
