Morax-Axenfeld Bacillus.—In certain subacute inflammations of theconjunctiva, especially noticeable about the angle of the eyes (angularconjunctivitis), Morax (1896) and later Axenfeld found a bacillus whichthey consider the cause of the disease. Morphology.—Short (about 2fi long), thick, non-motile bacilli, gener-ally in twos, but sometimes single or in short chains. They take theordinary stains easily, but are decolorized by Grams stain. Cultures.—^At 37° C. the bacilli produce a delicate growth on mediacontaining blood or serum. Later cultures grow slightly on nutrientveal agar. They grow slightly, if at all, at room temperature. Upon serum agar, they f
