| Discovery Notes | Isolated after one enrichment on first sample tested. It was taken from a compost pile on a farm in New Dairy. It was taken from approximately 6-8in from within the pile. There were decaying animal bodies within the pile, taken from an area close to a leg of what appeared to be a deer. The temperature was 74 degrees F. It was partially sunny, soil was fairly moist and smelly with a decent amount of earthworms. |
| Naming Notes | I originally wanted to name it after my puppy dog but his name was already taken so I named it after my cat. Puddin Pop is her nickname. |

| Plaque Notes | The plaques were relatively small and uniform throughout the last few months. During the last few days, procedures were done on a daily basis rather than every other day, and the plaques were very much smaller than previously seen. The current belief as to why this occurred is because they grew into each other making them appear larger than they were. They are lytic plaques and very clear and even seen through. |
