Characteristics of Coliform Bacteria from Olives.

Coliform bacteria have long been associated with a "gassy" deterioration of olives. This deterioration may be characterized by the formation of blisters, resulting from accumulation of gases which separate the skin from the flesh of the olives or by the formation of fissures directly under the skin which may extend to the pit of the fruit as shown in Plate 1. The decomposition is not confined t...

Coliform Bacteria in the Intestine of Mice

Mice of the NCS and NCS-D colonies, bred at the Rockefeller University, harbored in their intestine an endemic strain of slow lactose-fermenting Escherichia coli 081+/-: :H21 serotype. In addition, NCS mice have recently acquired E. coli 0109+/-:K48:H14. Both strains persisted during the period of observation, whereas they were not encountered in the feces of mice from two other colonies. Other...
