In Daniel E. Koshland, Jr.'s editorial "Methodology and theory at the frontier" (27 Mar., p. 1621), the name of the Thomson atom was spelled incorrectly.
1. Salmonella enteritidis PT 4 grew in eggs stored at 25 degrees C, but not at 10 degrees C. 2. The incidence of generalised infection of the egg contents (greater than 10(6) salmonellas/ml) was greater in eggs inoculated with cells suspended in faecal extract compared to those with cells in Ringer's solution. 3. The removal of most of the iron did not decrease the growth-promoting effect of the faecal extract.
In previous articles in the Maryland Medical Journal we have reviewed the problem of Salmonella enteritidis associated with shell eggs. Cases and outbreaks continue to occur. Health care professionals need to be aware of the association between the consumption of raw or undercooked eggs or egg-containing foods and gastroenteritis, especially in high risk individuals.
