Abstract

Bacilli proved to be identical with human diphtheria bacilli have been isolated from eleven horses and one mule, all of which animals, with the exception of two, presented on the limbs lesions that were described as simulating those of ulcerative lymphangitis. Of the two exceptions, one animal showed cutaneous lesions somewhat resembling those of acne, and the other was a case of suppuration of a nasal sinus in which treatment by trephining had been tried without success. Of the twelve strains isolated, five proved to be toxic and the remainder exhibited no evidence of toxicity.
