Abstract
By daily intravenous injections of 0.25 lethal dose of scillaren B, a squill gluco-side, the authors produced the typical, clinical picture of Plaut-Vincent''s angina in dogs. Mouth smears from injected animals and sections of ulcers produced in the mouth showed masses of the characteristic fusiform bacilli and spirochaetes associated with Vincent''s angina. Pure cultures of fusiform bacilli were grown from material obtained from mouths of dogs. Cultivation of the spirochaetes was unsuccessful.
