Studies on Tyzzer's disease: comparison between Bacillus piliformis strains from mouse, rat and rabbit.
The pathogenicity of Bacillus piliformis strains isolated from mouse, rat and rabbit, compared by inoculation into mice, appeared to be identical. The antibody titre obtained for the individual sera from spontaneously infected mice, rats, rabbits, dogs and humans was the same whether the antigen employed was from organisms isolated from mouse, rat or rabbit.
