The bacterial flora of abscesses in domestic animals in Selangor

Two hundred and thirty five cases o[ abscesses [rom domestic animals were seen at the Veterinary School, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia during the period [rom 1976 to 1983. Three hundred and seven aerobic bacteria were isolated, 133 of which were in pure cultures. Corynebacterium pyogenes was the mos...
