FAMILY CORYNEBACTERIACEAE 



401 



by Lehmann (loc. cit.) It may belong 

 in Corynebacterium. See Bacillus va- 

 ginae Kruse. 



Bacillus diphtheriae vitulorum Flligge. 

 (Bacillus der diphtherie beim Kalbe, 

 Loffler, Mitt. a. d. kais. Gesundheit- 

 samte, 2, 1884, 421; Flugge, Die Mikro- 

 organismen, 2 Aufl., 1886, 265.) From a 

 disease of calves. 



Bacillus diphtheroides Klein. (Cent, 

 f. Bakt., I Abt., 28, 1900, 418.) From 

 bovine mastitis. Presumably identical 

 with Corynebacterium pyogenes according 

 to Eberson (Jour. Inf. Bis., 23, 1918, 6). 



Bacillus endocarditis griseus Weichsel- 

 baum. (Weichselbaum, Beitrage z. path. 

 Anat. u. allgem. Path., 4, 1887, 119.) 

 From a case of endocarditis. A motile 

 form. Regarded by Kruse (in Flugge, 

 Die Mikroorganismen, 3 Aufl., 2, 1896, 

 4.33 and 479) as a diphtheroid. Because 

 of its motility, it is not so regarded by 

 Eberson (Jour. Inf. Dis., 23, 1913, 4). 



Bacillus pscudodiphtheriticus acidum 

 aciens Kurth. (Ztschr. f. Hyg., 28, 

 1898, 431.) From patients suspected of 

 having diphtheria. 



Bacillus pscudodiphtheriticus gazo- 

 genes Jacobsen. (Ann. Inst. Past., 22, 

 1908, 308.) From feces. Reported to 

 be a vigorous gas former. Eberson (Jour. 

 Inf. Dis., 23, 1918, 9) thinks this was an 

 impure culture. 



Bacillus septaius Gelpke. (Gelpke, in 

 V. Graefe, Arch f . Opthal., 42, 1896, No. 4; 

 Bacterium septatuni Gelpke, Arb. bakt. 

 Inst. Karlsruhe, 2, Heft 2, 1898, 73.) 

 From acute epidemic catarrh. Presum- 

 ably identical with Corynebacterium 

 xerose according to Eberson (.Jour. Inf. 

 Dis., 23, 1918, 3). 



Bacillus variabilis lymphae vaccinalis 

 Nakanishi. (Nakanishi, Cent. f. Bakt., 

 I Abt., Orig., 27, 1900, Qil ; Corynethrix 

 bovis Czaplewski, Deutsche med. 

 Wchnschr., 26, 1900, 723.) From calf 

 vaccine lymph. The organisms listed 

 here as Corynebacterium lymphae vac- 

 cinalis, Corynebacterium vaccinae and 

 Bacillus variabilis lymphae vaccinalis 

 are probably identical. 



Bacillus xerosis variolae Klein. 

 (Rept. Local Gov. Board, London, 20, 

 1890, 219, quoted from Thomson and 

 Thomson, Ann. Pickett-Thomson Res. 

 Lab., 2, 1926, 121.) From vaccine pus- 

 tules. 



Bacterium acnes Migula. (Bacillus 

 der Akne contagiosa des Pferdes, Dieck- 

 erhoff, Grawitz, Arch. f. pathol. Anat. u. 

 Physiol., 102, 1886, 148; Bacillus grawitzii 

 Trevisan, I generi e le specie delle Bat- 

 teriacee, 1889, 13; Bacillus acnes-con- 

 tagiosae Kruse, in Flugge, Die Mikro- 

 organismen, 3 Aufl., 2, 1896, 445; Migula, 

 Syst. d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 385; Bacterium 

 graioitzii Chester, Manual Determ. Bact., 

 1901, 154.) From pus and scabs of pus- 

 tules in acne-contagiosa in horses. 



Bacterium candidus Galli-Valerio. 

 (Cent. f. Bakt., I Abt., Orig., 36, 1904, 

 465.) From infected leg, but not con- 

 sidered causative. 



Bacterium coelicolor Mliller. (Mtiller, 

 Cent. f. Bakt., I Abt., Orig., 46, 1908, 

 195; Bacillus coelicolor Godfrin, Con- 

 tribution a I'etude des bacteries bleues 

 et violettes, These, Nancy, 1934.) Con- 

 taminant on serum agar plate. 



Bacterium columbarum Migula. (Ba- 

 cillus der diphtherie bei der Taube, 

 Loffler, Mitt. a. d. kais. Gesund- 

 heitsamte, 2, 1884, 421 ; Bacillus diph- 

 theriae columbarum Flugge, Die 

 Mikroorganismen, 2 Aufl., 1886, 263; 

 Bacillus diphtheriae-cohnnbarum Trevi- 

 san, I generi e le specie delle Batteriacee, 

 1889, 13; Bacterium diphtheriae colum- 

 barum Chester, Ann. Rept. Del. Col. 

 Agr. Exp. Sta., 9, 1897, 84; Migula, Syst. 

 d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 381; not Bacterium 

 columbarum Chester, Manual Determ. 

 Bact.. 1901, 141; Bacterium diphtheriae 

 Chester, Man. Determ. Bact., 1901, 141; 

 not Bacterium diphtheriae Migula, Syst. 

 d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 499.") Associated with 

 diphtheria in pigeons. Andrewes et al. 

 (Diphtheria, London, 1923, 393) state 

 that this organism does not belong in 

 Corynebacterium.
