MATERIALS AND METHODSSamples of freshly voided faeces from 48 healthy Ugandan adults living in and arotmd Kampala and from 40 healthy English adults living in London were examined. Specimens were preserved for transport and storage as a 10% suspension in meat infusion broth containing 10% glycerol frozen on solid carbon dioxide (Drasar, Shiner, and McLeod, 1969); the bacteria have been found to survive well under these conditions. Specimens were cultivated by the methods described previously (Drasar, 1967) with minor modifications. Approximately equal numbers of English and Ugandan specimens were examined on each day of testing in order to compensate for minor fluctuations in culture media, incubation tenperatures, and operational techniques. Methods for investigating the degradation of bile salts are described elsewhere (Hill and Drasar, 1968; Aries, Crowther, Drasar, and Hill, 1969).
