89:
626–629. 1965.—The higher the temperatures applied to soil specimens, the weaker the toxigenicity of
Clostridium tetani
strains isolated from them. The glucose- and maltose-fermenting ability of these isolates was inversely proportional to their toxigenicity. The biological properties of atoxic strains were indistinguishable from those of
C. tetanomorphum
. Since a considerable number of toxic strains fermented glucose and maltose, these criteria are of doubtful value for differentiating
C. tetani
from
C. tetanomorphum
.
