An outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella typhimurium phage type 10 in a university hall of residence affected 66 students and one member of staff. Results of a questionnaire survey of students suggested that the main wave of (53) cases was due to consumption of contaminated cottage pie, but the remaining cases could best be explained by person-to-person spread of infection. Investigation of the outbreak was greatly assisted by rigorous case finding, the screening of those at risk for symptomless excretors, and the collection of food histories from those who remained well. The possibility of person-to-person spread of salmonella food-poisoning serotypes should be borne in mind when outbreaks are investigated in closed communities such as institutions, families, and ships.

Serial Brucella agglutination tests were carried out on veterinary students at Bristol University between 1962 and 1968. A steady rise in the number of those with a significant positive titre was demonstrated in undergraduates and this was related to an increased exposure to farm livestock as their course progressed. A much larger proportion of individuals showed a significant titre in the period following graduation. While only 8-9 per cent of students in the first year of their course showed a significant titre, 49-5 per cent gave a serological response at 1/80 dilution or greater, within five years ofgraduation and of those in predominantly large animal practice almost 60 per cent showed this response. Only 7 per cent of those with a significant rise in titre reported symptoms suggestive of clinical disease.

In a prospective study in young women, novobiocin-resistant subgroup-3 micrococci were the second commonest cause, after Escherichia coli; of acute urinary infections. Proteus mirabilis was the only other causative organism. Symptoms, pyuria, or possible aetiological factors were the same in micrococcal and coliform infections. The infecting micrococcus "biotype" was only rarely found among the normal flora of the genitourinary tract of young women, though other micrococci and staphylococci were commonly present. Evidently, the infecting micrococci are selectively pathogenic in the urinary tract. Micrococcal infections, like coliform infections; commonly followed sexual intercourse, but there was no evidence that the micrococci were sexually transmitted. The infecting biotype was rarely found in the male urethra or prepuce.
