 note = {The pathogenetic role of nonsporeforming anaerobic bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 11828, in ocular infections was experimentally studied. Adult guinea pigs were used for the experiment. The results obtained were as follows: 1) It was obvious that P. acnes is capable of causing purulent endophthalmitis. 2) The effects of steroid drugs, dexamethasone sodium phosphate (Decadron) administered by subconjunctival injection and intramuscular injection for 5 days, were studied. Compared with eyes to which the steroid agent were not administered, the inflammatory reaction was shown to be suppressed in steroid treated eyes. However, the clinical course was prolonged. In eyes administered the steroid agent, a long time seemed to be required for a decrease in the viable count of bacteria in the vitreous body.},
