It has of course only been possible to develop gradually and development is
still proceeding. Although the laboratory has been open for a little over a year,
this is far too brief a period in which to discover all the material on which investigations
can be carried out. Fresh problems crop up every week and it will only be in
the fullness of time that the whole vast field of possible scientific enquiry will
become apparent.
In conclusion, I should like personally to express my deepest thanks to Dr.
F. E. Camps, the Pathologist of the Chelmsford and Essex Hospital, for his kindness
in typing over 300 strains of Streptococcus pyogenes for us during the past year.
The materials for such typing are only available to very few laboratories and we
are extremely fortunate to have the opportunity of working in co-operation with
such a prominent pathologist as Dr. Camps.
