Abstract
Influenza-virus-induced pneumonia of mice was consistently shown to be associated with secondary infection with coliform organisms. Treatment with gentamicin effectively sterilized the lungs of these mice but had no effect on either mortality or extent of the pneumonic process. The significance of these findings is discussed.
