This involved wounds being deliberately inflicted on the subjects‚ and then they purposely infected them with streptococcus‚ gangrene‚ and tetanus. The infections were then treated with sulfanilamide to determine its effectiveness. Some victims died from these experiments‚ and others suffered from severe injuries.
