Abstract

SUMMARY A test is described by which type strains of Pasteurella multocida o should be consistently differentiated om the other types, viz., types A, and E. The test involved the addition to concentrated broth cultures of an aqueous solution of acriavine. With this test, type D Strains yielded a characteristic heavy flocculent precipitate.
