Preputial gland abscesses were found in 321 (1.8%) of 17,422 mice from our production colonies. The lesions were observed only in males, and Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in pure culture from 84% of the cases. Experimental transmission of the disease was successfully accomplished through injection of Staphylococcus aureus into the penile urethra.
