In a smear preparation asa rule only Koch - Weeksbacilli are seen, or at mosta few cocci or other bacilli(especially xerosis) also.

Ofcourse, it is presumed thatmaterial is not taken dur-ing the subsidence of thedisease, when the sapro-phytes again becomeprominent. The apparent contradic-tion between the absence ofB. xerosis in the smear andits almost invariable pre-sence in the cultures, not in-frequently with some Staphylococci also, is due to the fact that, althoughin small numbers, it grows much more rapidly, and so becomes pro-minent in the Fig. 11.— Secretion Preparation(Freiburg), x 1,000.
