Abstract
THE week of July 27-August 1 saw more than a thousand microbiologists from all over the world united in conference at University College under the presidency of Dr. J. C. G. Ledingham, director of the Lister Institute. Six years have elapsed since the first Congress in Paris, the original triennial plan having fallen through for reasons which, in view of the world-wide political and economic unrest, may readily be imagined. Much new and important work was therefore ripe for discussion, and the scientific programme had to be divided into no less than eight sections, devoted each to a special subject.
