Models of Anaerobic Infection Proceedings of the third Anaerobe Discussion Group Symposium held at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, July 30-31, 1983, followed by the abstracts of the first meeting of the Society for Intestinal Microbial Ecology and Disease, Boston, November 1983

The ADG held its first International Symposium at Churchill College, Cambridge, in July 1979. The second symposium was also held at Churchill College on 30-31 July, 1981, and this, the third, took place at the same college on 30-31 July,. 1983. The meeting was structured in a format which we hoped w...
