This bacterium occurs singh^ except that when grown upon pijtato medium, pairs or even long filaments are not rare. Like, tlie Bacterium tul^erculosis, it produces ple- oniiir])liic forms when culti\-ate(l in different media or under varying conditions. In old cultures it frequently becomes short and is sometime coccoid in api)earance. liranching- forms arc not uncommon. It does not form spores.

It is so-called "Gram negative," i. e., it is deci.'lorized by (iram's solution. Source of Infection.âInfecticjn probably occurs most fre- fluently in an indirect manner, i. e., the infection is obtained from some surrounding object en" thing that has been contamin- ated ^\ith the infected discharges of a glandered animal The Bacterium mallei is strictly parasitic and the source of the micro-organism is either the discharges from an infected animal or the carcasses of animals that have died of glanders.
