Formation of Bacterial Endospores in Chick Embryos

Abstract

The formation of bacterial endospores in the living animal body has not been reported. [In 1958-1S80: M. Taylor, Fort Detrick, observed (unpublished data), through several weeks, anthrax spores produced in the cecum of a germ-free Lobund rat after challenge.] General opinion is that it does not occur. We have found, however, that in vivo-formed spores of several species of bacilli may be demonstrated in the chicken egg embryo.
