The majority hold the opposite opinion—namely, that theKlebs-Loeffler bacillus, while it may be absolutely avirulent and lackingin certain cultural and morphological characteristics, belongs to adistinct class, and under no circumstances whatever can the pseudo-organism be made to possess all the characteristics of the Klebs-Loefflerbacillus. It is at times very difficult, even impossible, to state positively thatsuch and such an organism belongs to the class of Klebs-Loeffler bacilli,judging from a morphological standpoint, especially in the absence ofclinical data. Fortunately this is not a very common occurrence, andrepeated cultures will generally serve to settle the question of
