Comparison of Neutralization Method with Furukubo's Method in isolating Tubercle Bacilli from Gastric Lavage

Streptomycin-dependent Tubercle Bacilli: a Simple Method for Isolation.

This report describes a simple method for the isolation of streptomycin-dependent tubercle bacilli from virulent cultures that have not previously been exposed to streptomycin. The in vivo isolation of streptomycin-dependent Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been reported by Spendlove et al. (1948) and Lenert and Hobby (1949). The in vitro procedure described here is applicable to the quantitative...

A simple method for detecting streptomycin-resistant tubercle bacilli.

Since the advent of streptomycin therapy in tuberculosis, the need has arisen for a rapid, simple method for detecting the emergence of resistant strains of Myco. tuberculosis. Methods so far described, for example, that of the M.R.C. (1948), are mostly designed for accuracy, but they have the disadvantage of requiring considerable manipulation. The slide culture technique (Giammalvo, Natsios, ...

A modification of Sula's method for the cultivation of tubercle bacilli from pleural fluid.

Method for staining both acid-fast and chromophobic tubercle bacilli with carbolfuschsin.

Cultivation of Tubercle Bacilli from Pleural Fluid

The diand tri-peptidase activity in white blood cells showed little variation from day to day (Table 11). This variation bore no relation to the changes in the number of white blood cells per c.mm. observed in cases of leukaemia. However, the activity of the enzymes differed in the diverse types ofwhite blood cells examined. White blood cells from cases of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemias g...
