title: Propagation of CAR bacillus in artificial media.
abstract: CAR bacillus propagated successfully in an artificial medium, and the number of CAR bacillus was about 30 times the original number after 8 days of cultivation. The medium consisted of Eagle's minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 20% hamster tracheal organ culture soup. By intranasal inoculation to mice, two strains of the CAR bacillus passaged 5 and 6 times in this artificial medium produced the same lung lesions as natural CAR bacillus infection.
