Abstract:

The testing of 50 anthrax strains consequently revealed that two strains grow atypically in bouillon, that five are pathogenic neither for mice nor for guinea pigs, and that eleven behave negatively in thermo precipitation. Of the 50 strains, each tested for eleven properties, eleven bouillon 2 pathogenicity 1 Ascoli 8 acted atypically relative to one test method, and three strains pathogenicity, Ascoli relative to two methods.
