Abstract
Summary
Penicillin is shown to be of value in the protection of mice against experimental Erysipelothrix rhusiopathice infection.
Oral administration is successful in the treatment of mice even without any protective action from oil coating, or buffers, provided it is instituted within 24 hours after exposure. The use of penicillin in drinking water is found to be as effective as is its addition to the feed. Oral administration compares favorably with parenteral injection although larger amounts are required.
