Behavior of certain fungi injected in a mixed suspension into mice

Summary A total of 40 mice was injected with mixed suspensions ofC. albicans, C. neoformans, B. dermatitidis andH. capsulatum intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intravenously and intracerebrally. Cultures from spleen, liver, kidney, lung and brain were made at intervals of 1, 4, 8, 15 and 30 days after inoculation. Results were recorded and compared with those obtained from a similar experiment where the organisms were injected separately.This project was aided in part by grant E-986 of the N.I.H.
