BOVINE AND HUMAN TUBERCLE BACILLI

A Comparative Study of Bovine Tubercle Bacilli and of Human Bacilli from Sputum

The absolute identity of tubercle bacilli infecting mammalia has bee~ so generally assumed and the assumption used as a basis for the enactment of sanitary measures having for their object the prevention of any transmission of tubercle bacilli from animals to man, that any one who would attempt to question this identity must be prepared to meet considerable scepticism. Taking a broad biological...

Bovine Tubercle Bacilli and Human Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculous Lesions in the Punjab

The Fate of Human and Bovine Tubercle Bacilli in Various Organs of the Rabbit

In this study the attempt has been made to follow the fate of tubercle bacilli in the lung, liver, spleen, kidney and bone marrow of rabbits infected intravenously with large and small doses of human and bovine tubercle bacilli by determining the number of colonies recoverable from similar quantities of tissue on egg media at varying intervals during the course of infection. This method offers ...

Hazards of bovine tuberculosis as a matter of public health significance and potential human lung infections with bovine tubercle bacilli.

Following discovery of the tubercle bacilli by Professor Koch, three types of the organisms were soon recognized immunologically as separate and distinct entities, i.e., the human, bovine and avian. For several years thereafter, Koch, as well as many other reputable scientists in the field of bacteriology, contended that the host-species in each category would not contract tuberculosis when exp...
