Abstract excerpt

In a previous microbiological study of Eikenella corrodens, we noted the presence of E. corrodens strains with variability in colony morphology, as well as other corroding bacilli phenotypically similar to E. corrodens but which were unidentifiable on the basis of biochemical reactions. This rais...
