This study has two purposes: The first is to report the results of determinations of the therapeutic effect of sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole and sulfadiazine in mice inoculated with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. These drugs were separately employed after the animals were inoculated with the amount of a culture of the organism that normally killed in about four days. The effect of these drugs in conjunction with subcutaneous doses of immune serum was also studied. The second purpose is to discuss the effects of the sulfonamide compounds in the treatment of the infection caused in man by Ery. rhusiopathiae, erysipeloid of Rosenbach.
