Abstract

Diarrhea and vomiting have been experimentally produced in monkeys after oral challenge with viable cells or culture filtrates of certain strains of Clostridium perfringens that previously had been shown to produce either fluid accumulation in the ligated ileum or overt diarrhea in the nonligated ileum of the rabbit, or both. Strains (or their culture filtrates) which did not produce a response in the rabbit likewise produced no symptoms in monkeys.
