Abstract

1. A method is described for obtaining pure cultures of Treponema pallidum and allied species of spirochætæ in fluid media. 2. The principle of the method is based upon the superposition of a favorable culture medium upon a less favorable one. 3. The method here described is not suited to the growth of spirochætæ when they are admixed with contaminating bacteria.
