While the same disease is always produced by the same microorganism, yet identical conditions whether in pathology, symptomology or in ultimate results will never be found.Grant that all human beings would react toward a given microorganism in the same general manner, variations in the disease picture would still occur because of the differences in virulence and differences...Bibliography1 MCCUTCHEONSTRUMIAMUDDMUDDLUCKE MMSEBB "On the Mechanism of Opsonin and Bacteriotropin Action.
