title: Oral dosing of mice with Clostridium botulinum type C cultures and culture filtrates.
abstract: In two of 14 tests in which adult mice were dosed per os, whole broth culture of Clostridium botulinum type C was more lethal than culture sterilised by membrane filtration. The results indicated that occasionally--though not usually--significant bacterial multiplication and toxigenesis occurred in the gut.
