Abstract
A Bedsonia sp. isolated from conjunctival scrapings of a man with acute follicular keratoconjunctivitis differed from the TRIC agents in its resistance to sulphonamides and in producing an iodine-negative inclusion. The patient owned a cat with a recent history of rhinitis and conjunctivitis—manifestations consistent with feline pneumonitis. A bedsonial agent isolated from this cat and from another cat in the same household had the same characteristics as the agent recovered from the patient. The isolate from the patient produced a typical, acute, inclusion-positive conjunctivitis in experimentally infected cats.
