RECOVERY OF SPECIFIC MICROORGANISMS FROM URINE AND FECES OF INFECTED ANIMALS

摘要

Prevention of occupationally acquired laboratory infection among experimenters and animal caretakers is easier when it is known if the microorganisms under study are excreted in the urine and/or feces of the experimental animal. Appropriate precautionary pro¬cedures can then be established.nThis preliminary report lists 351 references to 56 diseases; human laboratory infections of 43 of the diseases have occurred. The table shows whether the etiologic agent has been recovered, or could not be recovered, from the urine and/or feces of man and various domestic and laboratory animals.
