Experimental inoculation of Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis bacilli in albino mice.
72 albino mice were intranasally inoculated with Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis suspension with or without the addition of hog mucin. Scleroma-like lesions developed in their lungs more frequently with hog mucin. A liver affection was detected only in 1 animal. K. rhinoscleromatis organisms were recovered from the lung lesions. A possible potentiating effect of hog mucin is discussed.
