Abstract
1. An epidemic of a dysenteroid nature, largely ambulatory, due to B. dysenteriae (Sonne), affecting some 100 nurses without transference to any hospital case in the wards served by this section of the nursing staff, is described.2. Sonne's bacillus was isolated from sixteen out of forty-two cases examined.3. The probable cause was infection of food during preparation in the kitchens by a carrier.4. A case of infection from laboratory cultures is described.5. Notes are given of investigations upon the colonial appearance, biochemical and agglutinogenic reactions and pathogenicity to rabbits of the organism isolated, and also upon the presence of agglutinins in the blood of infected cases.6. One case of infection in a rabbit by feeding experiments is described.
