Abstract

The experimental production of disease often permits a better understanding of etiologic factors than can be obtained by clinical study. The variables encountered in clinical infection and the difficulties encountered with terminology point to the need for experimental models. The development of model infection systems is important not only in elucidating the factors involved in the pathogenesis of spontaneous infection but also because models would be useful in testing antimicrobial formulations.
