Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases of the Digestive System

Biology and Diseases of Mice

“…CLOSTRIDIUM PILIFORME -TYZZER'S DISEASE (Fujiwara and Ganaway, 1994;Ganaway, 1982;Ganaway et al, 1971;Percy and Barthold, 2007) Etiology Tyzzer's disease is named for Ernest Tyzzer, who first described it in a colony of Japanese Waltzing mice. The causative organism, C. piliforme (formerly Bacillus piliformis), is a long, thin, gram-negative spore-forming bacterium that appears to require living cells for in vitro growth.…”

Microbiological Quality Control for Laboratory Rodents and Lagomorphs

“…A common usage of antigen assays in laboratory animal health surveillance is to serotype isolates of bacteria for which a linkage between clinical significance and serotype has been established. More than 1000 antigenic types of Salmonella have been delineated by agglutination with antisera to somatic O and flagellar H antigens (Ganaway, 1982;Giannella, 1996).…”
