THE BACTERIAL DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ANTHRAX BY MEANS OF A NEW SPECIFIC TEST (THE STRING OF PEARLS TEST 'PERLSCHNURTEST')

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.
