S. bombycis is not a well- defined species and its entity is doubtful; it is proposed, therefore, that the name S. bombycis and its synonyms, which are given, be rejected. These streptococci are pathogenic for the silkworm, causing a disease of the gut. The mechanism of the pathogenicity is discussed.", }
