Extract
In the paper on the association of Rickettsia with Trench Fever, by Arkwright, Bacot and Duncan (1919) mention is made of a bacillary infection of the excreta and guts of lice (Pediculus humcmus). A Gram-negative cocco-bacillus was isolated in pure culture. It was non-motile, fermented glucose, mannite and lactose very slowly, and formed acid and clot in milk in about 14 days.
