78 TRANSFORMATION OF THE INTESTINAL FLORA 



IMPLANTATION EXPERIMENTS WITH LIVING CULTURES 

 OF BACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS 



B. acidophilus was administered in the form of whey broth cultures 

 which were incubated for forty-eight hours at 37° C, and reduced, when 

 necessary, to five of the McFarland turbidity scale. Four different 

 strains of the organism were employed; they were isolated originally 

 from human stools. In some instances the subjects were given their 

 own strains in conjunction with others.
