Abstract
Corynebacterium pyogenes is generally grown in Robertson's medium1 when small quantities are prepared and in derivatives of this medium for vaccine production. Producing this medium for vaccines is an expensive time-consuming operation, so it was decided to investigate the possibilities of using fat-free milk as the basic medium. Strains used throughout the work were those recently isolated from bovine lesions and used at present for vaccine production.
