174 PATHOGENIC BACTERIA 



containing large typical cells loaded with bacilli. 

 Bacterium ozcence is associated with fetid atrophic 

 rhinitis or nasal catarrh. 



All the mucosus group are moderately pathogenic 

 for animals, but injections into these experimentally 

 do not call forth prototypes of the diseases in man.

Bacillus of rhinoscleroma. Section of tissue showing the microorganisms 

 within Mikulicz cells. (After Frankel and Pfeiffer.) 



Usually a septicemia with extensive fibrin deposit 

 on serous membranes results. The thick, stringy, or 

 viscid character of the exudates is peculiar to these 

 bacteria. No antiserum has been produced to use in 

 cases of disease caused by them, but there have 

 been some favorable results after injecting dead 

 organisms during an attack.
