Abstract
Phenol coeffs. were run according to the F. D. A. method except that 0.1% darco G60 or 0.03% ferric chloride was added to the F. D. A. broth used for sub-culturing. Staphylococcus aureus and Eberthella typhosa could be revived after treatment with dilutions of phenol that have heretofore been considered lethal. Errors of the order of magnitude of 20% may occur in determining the lethal dilution.Keywords
