A comparative study of some members of a pathogenic group of bacilli of the hog cholera or bac. Enteritidis (Gärtner type), intermediate between the typhoid and colon groups. With the report of a case resembling typhoid, in which there occurred a post-febrile osteomyelitis due to such an intermediate bacillus.". "In 1899, in his spare time between operations and at night in the laboratory, Cushing studied the bacilli of hog cholera, or Bacillus enteritidis (Gartner type), comparing it with other pathogenic microorganisms of the gastro-intestinal system. To determine the characteristics of Bacillus enteritidis, Cushing made cultures of eleven enteric bacilli, cultured them in different media, and injected the cultured bacilli into rabbits. He found that Bacillus enteritidis had characteristics intermediate between those of the typhoid and colon groups. In 1900 Cushing published his bacteriological studies with photographs to show the various reactions of the eleven enteric bacilli. It was a purely bacteriological paper."
