Abstract
THE intraperitoneal injection of a 1 per cent mixture of equal parts of sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate followed by an inoculum of Staphylococcus aureus has been previously found to enhance virulence of the latter for mice1. In the light of this observation, effectiveness in this respect of other individual bile salts, as well as the minimal effective concentration of those salts possessing such activity, was investigated.
