 PYOGENIC OKGANISMS. 



PAGE 



Pus formation is not necessarily due to bacteria— Organisms of 

 pus — Staphylococcus pyogenes aureus — Methods of staining 

 and growth on media — Pathogenesis — Streptococcus pyogenes 

 — Staphylococcus pyogenes alhus — Streptococcus epidermidis 

 albus — Staphylococcus pyogenes citreus — Staphylococcus 

 cereus aureus — Staphylococcus cereus albus — Bacillus pyc- 

 cyaneus. 



ERYSIPELAS. 



Fehleisen's streptococcus — Growth on media — Method of staining 

 — Virulence is more rapidly lost in broth than in solid media — 

 Occurrence and distribution — Pathogenesis— Exhibits varying 

 degrees of infectivity — The possible identity of the organism 

 with the Streptococcus pyogenes — Serum treatment of strepto- 

 coccic infection — Treatment of malignant growths by means of 

 metabolic products of growth of Streptococcus pyogenes — 

 Practical disinfection. 



GONOBBHCEA. 



Specific organism first discovered by Neisser — Morphology — 

 Cultivated by Bumm — Method of staining — Special media 

 necessary for culture — Occurrence and pathogenesis — Patho- 

 genicity demonstrated by Bumm — In gonorrhoea the gonococcus 

 is associated with other micro-organisms — Besearehes of Boso 

 — Bacteriological analysis — Practical precautions. 



GLANDEBS. 



The bacillus of glanders was first described by Loffler and Schutz 

 — Proof of its specificity — Morphology— Method of growth in 

 culture — Attenuation occurs rapidly in culture — Susceptible 

 animals — Farcy — Diagnosis of glanders — Mallein — Preventive 

 measures. 



SYPHILIS. 



Syphilis appears to belong to a group, the other members of 

 which are tuberculosis, leprosy and glanders — Lustgarten's 

 bacillus is probably the specific organism — Some observers 

 have described streptococci — Methods of staining — Growth on 

 media — Bacillus of Eve and Lingard — Capsulated diplococcus 

 of Disse and Tagucchi — V-shaped bacillus of Dr. Van Neissen 

 — Stassano's researches — The Contagious Diseases Act — 

 Necessity for again putting the Act into force 215-230
