Extract

In a paper by Mattick & Shattock (1) it is stated that: ‘The suspicion exists in the minds of those who investigated cases of gastro-enteritis that streptococci of the faecal type isolated from suspected cheese may have been responsible for the disease.’ They examined thirty cheeses and found that the faecal types of streptococci were common, and that the haemolytic varieties were rare. Since then the question has arisen as to the identity of the haemolytic streptococci found in cheese examined for the presence of the pathogenic streptococci. While we have never had occasion to examine cheese suspected of harbouring pathogenic organisms, the presence of haemolytic varieties of streptococci, their identity, and their role in cheese œcology is of general interest.
