Abstract
Description
Bacteria of different types are capable of living in the soil for
long periods of time. Among these are those causing tuberculosis,
swine erysipelas, anthrax, brucellosis and perhaps a dozen others. There is one genus of bacteria that is responsible for a large number of our common animal diseases and which has several distinct characteristics, this is the genus Clostridium. This article was a brief summary and discussion of the more common, types of Clostridia infections and points out the more satisfactory methods of controlling the diseases produced by these organisms.
