A fatal enteric infection with ulcerative lesions in the colon was produced in Hartley strain guinea pigs with an orally-administered culture of Shigella flexneri 2a. To accomplish this, it was first necessary to deprive the animals of food for four days and to administer calcium carbonate before and opium following the challenge suspension. Animals receiving this treatment succumb following oral challenges of S. flexneri 2a (LD50 approximately 106 to 107 bacteria),but survive doses in excess of 10[degree] cells of Escherichia coli. Some characteristics of the infection are described and account of the intestinal lesions in animals succumbing to the infection is given.
