A facultative aerobic, non-liquefying, motile bacillus, pathogenic in most mammals and asserted by Sanerelli, its discoverer, to be the specific organism of yellow fever. The organism is now regarded as an intestinal saprophyte, resembling the bacillus of hog cholera in its cultural characteristics. It does not produce this disease in hogs and will not agglutinate in high dilutions with the blood from cases of hog cholera.
