Four outbreaks of food-poisoning are described in which over 100 cases in all of gastro-enteritis occurred, one being fatal. In each outbreak the infecting bacteria were indistinguishable culturally and in serological behaviour from the “G” strain of B. suipestifer.

The reasons are given for following Andrewes and Neave and classifying these as B. suipestifer. (sub-group II).
