Description
Cows on five farms suffered bladder and kidney infections, and F. S. Jones and Ralph B. Little hunt for the germ responsible. Their 1926 study, from the Rockefeller Institute's animal pathology department at Princeton, isolates a Gram-positive diphtheroid bacterium from spontaneous cases of cystitis and pyelonephritis, meaning bladder and kidney inflammation.
Strains from all five farms share the same shape, growth habits, and immune reactions. The germ harms no ordinary laboratory animals and makes no toxin. Injected into cow veins it causes nothing, yet small amounts placed into the bladder through the urethra set up lasting cystitis. The pair also find signs of spread by contact, as when one worker grooms both healthy and infected cows.
