1. Salmonella heidelberg infection in humans was traced to one cow excreting the organism in milk.

2. The cow was clinically normal and infection was confined to the right hind-quarter of the udder.

3. The affected quarter had numerous haemorrhagic foci but there was no inflammatory response to the infection.

4. Histological preparations suggested that Streptococcus uberis was causing a chronic mastitis in all four quarters.
