AHaemophilus likeorganism, not apparently identical withH. influenzaesuis, was isolated together with swine fever virus from a pneumonic pig lung. It was a small, Gram-negative, pleomorphic rod showing filamentous forms and evidence of capsulation. It was non-motile and catalase negative. Its colonial form was similar toH. infiuenzaeand, like the latter, it showed satellitism when growing in association withStaphylococcus aureus. It did not, however, require factors × and V as described forH. infiuenzae, but did require a factor to be found in blood, serum, and commercial yeast extract, Intratracheal injection of cultures of the organism failed to cause disease in any of 7 pigs and the organism was not isolated from these animals when they were killed for examination 14 to 25 days after inoculation, întratracheal injection of unfiltered material from the original lung, or of cultures of the organism together with swine fever virus, caused pneumonia and pleurisy in 7 of 10 pigs; the organism was recovered from all these lungs except the 3 not showing pleurisy. The pneumonia caused by intratracheal injection of swine fever virus alone was characterized microscopically by collapse, with a varying degree of cellular exudate. The pneumonia caused by intratracheal injection of swine fever virus olus the Haemophilus likeorganism was characterized microscopically by the changes associated with swine fever virus plus a nodular lesion which is described in detail and was associated with theHaemophilus, and by extensive pleurisy.
