  1. Effect of bacteriophage in experimental staphylococcal septicemia in rabbits. Bronfenbrenner, J.J., Sulkin, S.E. (1941). J. Bacteriol. 41:61-61. The present experiments were undertaken to evaluate the validity of the reports of successful bacteriophage therapy in clinical staphylococcal infections. Rabbits were infection by the intravenous introduction of staphylococci of varying degrees of virulence and were submitted to therapy with bacteriophage propagated on each of the respective strains of the organisms. While no definite therapeutic effect was attained in any instance, the use of bacteriophage propagated on the invasive staphylococcus prolonged and increased the severity of the course of the infection irrespective of the degree of virulence of the infecting organism.
