The fact that spores are so resistant is practi-cally important, and necessitates a careful study of theprinciples underlying sterilization. Among the spore-forming bacilli encountered in medicine may be men-tioned the bacillus of tetanus (lockjaw), the bacillus ofanthrax, and the bacillus of malignant edema. Some bacteria possess the power to move are, therefore, spoken of as being motile. By em-.
