title: Isolation of staphylococcal L-phase variants from the blood and egg yolks of normal chickens.
abstract: The use of special microbiological media and modified techniques has resulted in the stimulation of growth and development of bacterial L forms in samples of blood and egg yolk free from mature bacteria and derived from normal healthy chickens. After prolonged cultivation the majority of these L form cultures reverted to staphylococci.
