BACTERIUM LEPISEPTICUM INFECTION

Bacterium Lepisepticum Infection

In this paper we have attempted to describe the manner of spread of an endemic, native, respiratory infection and a method for its control. The essential factor determining the prevalence of such an endemic disease is, we believe, host susceptibility, which is controlled by hereditary and environmental influences. Furthermore, it seems probable that the amount of this population susceptibility ...

Biology of Bacterium Lepisepticum

1. Bacterium lepisepticum, Type D, inoculated in small amounts into meat extract broth, pH 7.4, under aerobic conditions failed to grow. Larger inoculations underwent a period of lag before the logarithmic growth phase began. 2. In this medium, dissociation of Microbe D to the variant G occurred readily. 3. A lowered oxygen tension in this broth resulted in growth of small numbers of Type D wit...

Bacterium Alcaligenes Infection

Sir,?Dr. R. N. Chaudhuri published case notes of Bacterium alcaligenes infection resembling typhoid lever in the April issue of your journal. That some ?f the cases of typhoid-like fever may be of this origin had been described by previous workers also. I 'described similar cases either of primary origin or succeeding typhoid fever (resembling a relapse) in the Indian Journal of Medicine, Vol. ...

The Epidemiology of a Rabbit Respiratory Infection

Rabbits were bred at The Rockefeller Institute with special relation to protection from exposure to Bacterium lepisepticum. These healthy rabbits were then submitted to intranasal instillation of a given dose of cultures of Bacterium lepisepticum. The results of the inoculation were various according to the natural degree of resistance of the individual animals. The following graded effects cou...
