A CORYNE-BACILLUS AS A CAUSE OF ABSCESS IN THE FEET OF HENS

Abstract

From the abscess of the hen's feet a coryne-bacillus was isolated and necrosis was experimentally produced by inocultation of its pure culture into the soft structure of chicken soles.
This bacillus may be considered as a cause of the avian disease mentioned above.
Before closing, I wish to express my indebtedness to Dr. N. Nakamura for his helpful suggestions and advice.
