SummaryAn anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus has been isolated from the cecal contents of conventional mice. This organism causes reduction in size of the enlarged cecum usually associated with axenic mice. It has been identified as Clostridium difficile. A combination of 2 strains of Bacteroides isolated from cecal contents of conventional mice was also effective in this respect.
