| Sachs' bacillus | A species found in malignant oedema of animals, in human war wounds, and in cases of appendicitis; it is pathogenic for guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, and pigeons and produces an exotoxin that is lethal and haemolytic. Synonym: Ghon-Sachs bacillus, Sachs' bacillus, vibrion septique. (05 Mar 2000) |
