Abstract
Eleven germfree and two monoassociated with the Citrobacter guinea pigs, and 25 conventional animals were injected with the heat-inactivated Citrobacter or E. coli for the induction of the local Schwartzman phenomenon. All the gnotobiotic pigs gave a positive reaction. Infiltration at the site of intracutaneous injection was found in all the conventionals, but in none of the gnotobiotics. The data are discussed from the aspect of primary and secondary sequelae of the absence of host microflora.If you're having problem loading pages
