Abstract
ORGANISMS belonging to the pleuropneumonia group (L organisms∥) were first cultured from the human genitourinary tract in 19372 and have been recovered from this tract by several investigators since that time.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 No disease in human beings has yet been ascribed to such organisms, although they are known to cause important epizootic diseases in animals. This paper presents further observations on the incidence of these micro-organisms in human beings, with a discussion of their pathogenicity.The first organism of this type was cultivated in 1898 from cattle10 and recognized as the cause of one of the most important plagues of . . .Keywords
