of this stock was isolated from the lungs of an albino mouse of
Swiss line not presenting a respiratory disorder. Experiment showed
that infections could have a pathogenic capacity. The stock isolated
from the hamster originates in the intestine of an animal presenting
proliferative ileitis (inflammation of the ileum). The mouse bacterium
