Food-poisoning due to Bacilli of the type B. morbificians bovis (Basenau)

Abstract

An outbreak of food-poisoning is described in which the B. morbificans bovis (Basenau) was the causal agent. The position of this type in the Salmonella group as classified by Bruce White has been confirmed by analysis of the antigenic properties and agglutination reactions (including absorption of agglutinin) of the strains isolated in the outbreak.
