Abstract
A method for the culture of spiral-shaped bacteria associated with the intestinal mucosa of rodents is described. The appearance in culture of a spiral organism from rat ceca and a spirochete from mouse ceca is illustrated; these organisms are morphologically similar to the major inhabitants of the cecal mucosa in each animal species.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
