Abstract
Antibodies to Bacillus piliformis were demonstrated by the immunofluorescence antibody technique in sera from mice and rabbits from SPF breeding colonies. Mice in various stages of pregnancy were experimentally infected with Bacillus piliformis and killed 2 to 3 days later. The organism was demonstrated in the uterus, foetal membranes and in the liver of the foetuses. Infection was not limited to any particular stage of pregnancy.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
