On a kind of dysentery caused by the paratyphoid bacillus

For a long time, many authoritative scientists, such as Hirsch, Brauer, Frenkel, and others, expressed the position that the dysentery symptom complex can be caused not only by specific microbes of the dysentery group, but also by a number of other microorganisms: paratyphoid bacillus B., bac. Pyocyareus and other microbes, as well as protozoa (Amoeba Hystolitica, balantidia and lamblia). In 1891, during one dysentery epidemic, Grigoriev isolated a microorganism from the feces of 10 patients and from the mesenteric glands of dysentery corpses, which, according to the author's description, fits into the framework of E. coli. Macao Abe during the epidemics of dysentery in southern Japan in all 42 cases isolated a bacillus from the feces of patients. coli comm. and not once in this epidemic did he manage to find either amoeba or dysentery bacillus.
