^{page 85 note 1} It is somewhat difficult to estimate the share taken by staphylococci and streptococci in the production of lesions following milk inoculations, they are found frequently enough in animals dying more than 10 days after inoculation, and they may in such cases be associated or not with bacilli of the colon group, but they are not usually found in animals dying from acute septicaemia. It is probable that in many instances their presence is due to secondary infection.
