ATYPICAL TYPHOID INFECTION

Ox Bile Sensitization in Mouse Typhoid Infection

Sterile ox bile, administered per os in maximum doses to laboratory mice, tends to increase their susceptibility to mouse typhoid infection.

The Intestinal Flora in Mouse Typhoid Infection

The normal flora of laboratory mice at The Rockefeller Institute, fed on a bread and milk diet, was determined. Bacillus acidophilus and Bacillus bifidus outnumber the Bacillus coli, Bacillus acidi lactici, and Bacillus coli communior group about twenty-five to one. White and yellow cocci which may or may not liquefy gelatin are occasionally noted; spirochetal and vibrio forms and yeasts are us...

Should Anti-Typhoid Inoculation Be Practised in a Household Exposed to Typhoid Infection?

Microbic Virulence and Host Susceptibility in Mouse Typhoid Infection

Mice bred at The Rockefeller Institute vary in their susceptibility to mouse typhoid infection caused by a certain strain of Bacillus pestis caviae. This graded variation may be roughly analyzed as follows: in any series infected per os with a fixed dose, 20 to 30 per cent show no sign of infection, no positive blood cultures, and no agglutinins; 5 or 10 per cent present symptoms of disease, po...
