“…Swab samples were taken from the external flares, nasal cavity, trachea and conjunctiva by use of sterile cotton swabs moistened with saline and cultured on 5% horse blood agar for detection of S. pneumoniae and S. zooepidemicus [5,10,17) and on DHL agar (Eiken Co., Tokyo) for Salmonella spp. and B. bronchiseptica [11,13].…”

It was demonstrated that the transmission S. pneumoniae in guinea pigs was remarkably promoted by the combined infection with Sendai virus in the following experiments.When guinea pigs infected with S. pneumoniae alone (infector) were cagemated with non-treated guinea pigs (contact) for 2 and 4 weeks, only 2 of 30 contacts were infected with the organism.On the contrary, when the contact guinea pigs were infected with Sendai virus and immediately cage-mated with the infectors, the pneumococcal infection occurred in 25 of 30 contacts during 2 to 4 weeks period. In the experiment in which 30 non-treated contacts were cage-mated with pneumococcal infectors for 4 weeks and then infected with Sendai virus, no pneumococcal infection was demonstrated in the contacts, suggesting no presence of latent infection of the organism in the contact guinea pigs. Twenty-five of 30 contacts suffered from pneumococcal infection when they were exposed to Sendai virus for 2 weeks and then cage-mated with infectors.
