MANUAL OF DETERMINATIVE BACTERIOLOGY 



From the sour milk of the Carpathian 

 region. Presumably Lactobacillus bul- 

 garicus. 



Bacillus circular is minor Heurlin. 

 (Bakt. Unters. d. Keimgehaltes im 

 Genitalkanale d. fieberndcn Wochnerin- 

 nen. Helsingfors, 1910, 170.) From the 

 genital canal. Anaerobic. 



Bacillus necrodcntalis Goadby. 

 (Goadby, Microorganisms in dental ca- 

 ries, Dental Cosmos, ^2, 1900, 213.) 

 From dental caries. 



Bacillus orenhurgii Horowitz -Wlas- 

 sowa. (Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 64, 

 1925, 338.) From kumys (Caucasus). 

 Presumably Lactobacillus bulgaricus. 



Bacillus orientalc Batchinsk}^ 



(Batchinsky, Arch. d. Ge.sellsch. d. 

 Naturf. St. Petersburg, 4~, 1911; quoted 

 from Horowitz -Wlassowa, Cent. f. Bakt., 

 II Abt., 64, 1925, 330.) From kumys in 

 Ufa (U.S.S.R.). Presumably L«f/o6ac27- 

 lus bulgaricus. 



Bacillus sardous (iiri.xoni. (Annali di 

 Med. Navale, 112, 1905, 223 and Cent. f. 

 Bakt., II Abt., 15, 1905, 951; Bacterium 

 sardum miciurati Bianco, II Cesalpino, 

 8, 1912, 33.) From gioddu (Sardinia). 

 Presumablj^ Lactobacillus bulgaricus. 



Bacillus vaginae Kruse. (Scheiden- 

 bacillen, Doederlein, Das Scheidensekret 

 und seine Bedeutung flir das Puerperal - 

 fieber, Leipzig, 1892, 32 ; Kruse, in Fliigge, 

 Die Mikrcorganismen, 3 Aufl., 2, 1896, 

 358; Bacillus vaginalis longus Heurlin, 

 Bakt. Unters. d. Keimgehaltes im Geni- 

 talkanale d. fiebernden Wochnerinnen. 

 Helsingsfors, 1910, 170; Bacillus vaginalis 

 Jotten, Arch. f. Hyg., 91, 1922, 149; 

 Stabchen Ke, Heim, Cent. f. Bakt., I 

 Abt., Orig., 93, 1924, 252; Acidobacterium 

 doederleinii Heim, quoted from Schlirf, 

 Cent. f. Bakt., I Abt., Orig., 97, 1925, 

 104; Plocamobacterium vaginae Lehmann, 

 in Lehmann and A'eumann, Bakt. Diag., 

 7 Aufl., 2, 1927, 510; Lactobacillus doeder- 

 lein Gillespie and Rettger, Jour. Bact., 

 36, 1938, 623.) Kruse (Allgemeine Mi- 

 krobiol., 1910, 287) considers this species 

 a "langen Milchsaurebacillus" all of 

 which he would group under the name 



Bacillus lacticus (not Bacillus lacticus 

 Kruse, in Fliigge, Die Mikroorganismen, 

 3 Aufl., 2, 1896, 356 as this is Streptococcus 

 lactis Lohnis). Jotten {loc. cit.) and 

 Thomas (Jour. Inf. Dis., 43, 1928, 218) 

 consider this species identical with 

 Lactobacillus acidophilus (Moro) Hol- 

 land. From the secretion of the normal 

 vagina. See Bacillus crassus Lipschiitz. 



Bacterium gracile Mtiller-Thurgau. 

 (Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 20, 1908, 396; 

 MUller-Tliurgau and Osterwalder, ibid., 

 36, 1912, 157; ibid., 48, 1917, 1; Lacto- 

 bacillus gracile Bergey et al.. Manual, 

 3rd ed., 1930, 297.) This organism which 

 was isolated from wine is probably not a 

 lactobacillus. It may belong to the 

 genus Leuconostoc (subculture examined 

 in 1936, C. S. Pederson). 



Bacterium granulosum Lehmann and 

 Neumann. (Kornchenbacillus, Luers- 

 sen and Kiihn, Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 

 20, 1907, 241 ; Lehmann and Neumann, 

 Bakt. Diag., 5 Aufl., 2, 1912, 306.) From 

 yoghurt (Bulgaria). Presumably Lacto- 

 bacillus bulgaricus. 



Bacterium lactis commune Hohen- 

 nadel. (Arch. f. Hyg., 85. 1916, 237.) 

 From feces. Similar to Laciobacillus 

 acidophilus (Moro) Holland. 



Bacterium mazun Weigmann, Gruber 

 and IIuss. (Milchsiiurebakterium aus 

 Mazun, Diiggoli, Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 

 15, 1905, 595; Weigmann et al., Cent. f. 

 Bakt., II Abt., 19, 1907, 78.) From 

 mazun (Armenia). Presumably Lacto- 

 bacillus bulgarictis . 



Bacterium vermijorme Ward. (Phil. 

 Tran. Roy. Soc. London, 183, 1892, 149; 

 Bacillus vermiformis Migula, Syst. d. 

 Bakt., 2, 1900, 652; Bctabacterium vermi- 

 jorme Mayer, Inaug. Diss., Univ. 

 Utrecht, 1938.) Originally isolated from 

 the ginger beer plant fermentation. 

 This is jn-esumably a slime-forming 

 lactobacillus. 



Bacieroides aerofaciens Eggerth and 

 Bacteroides biformis Eggerth. (Jour. 

 Bact., 30, 1935, 282-283.) From feces. 

 Possibly lactobacilli but their i-elation- 

 ships are not definitely known.
