pleomorphism and pleobiosis of bacillus bifidus communis. | from the foregoing experiments, the conclusion may be drawn that b. bifidus communis of tissier has an aerobic phase, in which it resembles b. mesentericus fuscus. numerous intermediate phases can occur between these two extremes; and their morphological and biological variabilities demand the utmost attention in order to interpret more intelligently the various phases of a given organism, constantly found in the stools of sucklings, and to avoid the artificial creation of two or more organisms ... | 1910 | 19867322 |
the influence of milk feeding on mortality and growth, and on the character of the intestinal flora. | throughout the investigations upon which a large part of this paper is based the favorable influence of milk feeding on mortality and growth was most apparent. mortality from all causes was frequently reduced to at least one-half of what obtained among the chicks that received no milk, while the milk-fed chicks in some experiments gained twice as much in weight as those that were without this article of diet. although the influence of milk feeding was less pronounced on the mortality of chicks t ... | 1915 | 19867878 |
the intestinal flora in mouse typhoid infection. | the normal flora of laboratory mice at the rockefeller institute, fed on a bread and milk diet, was determined. bacillus acidophilus and bacillus bifidus outnumber the bacillus coli, bacillus acidi lactici, and bacillus coli communior group about twenty-five to one. white and yellow cocci which may or may not liquefy gelatin are occasionally noted; spirochetal and vibrio forms and yeasts are usually seen in stained preparations. this flora does not change when mice are artificially infected per ... | 1923 | 19868710 |
