EXPERIMENTAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF A STRAIN OF PLAGUE BACILLUS DERIVED FROM A STRAIN OF THE MALASSEZ AND VIGNAL BACILLUS

Abstract

According to the authors' experiments and to the biochemical properties of the two strains, everything happens as if Malassez and Vignal's bacillus had been transformed into plague bacillus. The authors point out that as this 'transformation' was taking place, no strain of plague bacillus was under experimentation at the Pasteur Institute, Casablanca, and that, on the other hand, among several thousand guinea-pigs used every year in this Institute, neither Yersin's nor Malassez and Vignal's bacillus has ever been isolated.
