The isolation of Moellerella wisconsensis from stool samples in the U.K. 1986

A R Marshall, and I J Al-Jumaili, and A J Bint

Three strains of Moellerella wisconsensis were isolated from a total of 400 stool specimens screened for this organism by means of a new selective medium developed in this laboratory. This is the first report of the isolation of this organism in the U.K. The exact role of M. wisconsensis in causing diarrhoea remains to be elucidated.
