Abstract
Using intradermal technic to determine virulence of C. diphtheriae, one strain caused necrosis in both the test guinea pig and the control protected by antitoxin. This is explained as a high degree of invasiveness of this particular strain. Antibacterial serum would prevent such results.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
