Abstract
Sera from patients with Crohn's disease more often than those from other subjects contain agglutinins against anaerobic coccoid rods, identified as Peptostreptococcus productus, Eubacterium contortum (two strains) and Coprococcus comes. The presence of antigens of the four coccoid rods in faeces of patients with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects was investigated by inoculation of rats with faecal suspensions. Antigens of the coccoid rods were detected in faeces from both patients with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects.
