The Thermal Death-point of Tubercle Bacilli in Milk and Some Other Fluids
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Tubercle bacilli when suspended in. distilled water, normal salt solution, bouillon and milk, are destroyed at 60 degrees C. in 15 to 20 minutes. The larger number are destroyed in 5 to 10 minutes. 2. When tubercle bacilli are suspended in milk, the pellicle which forms during the exposure at 60 degrees C. may contain living bacilli after 60 minutes.

An Investigation of Calcutta Milk Supply for Presence of Tubercle Bacilli
In view of the growing interest and increased incidence of tuberculosis in India, it is extremely important to determine the various sources of dissemination of tubercle bacilli. It has been estimated that as many as 40 per cent of cattle are tuberculous in certain parts of England and about 7 per cent of samples of milk in London contain tubercle bacilli. Although milk is generally boiled in I...

1. Tubercle bacilli were isolated by the Petroff method from 64.8 per cent of the sputa which were found to be positive by the direct microscopic method. 2. The organism was recovered from 69.2 per cent of the samples of milk that were artificially infected. 3. Of the milk obtained through the New Haven Health Department Laboratory 8.4 per cent of the samples were found to contain tubercle baci...

As part of a series of investigations at Baba Baghi Leprosarium in lran, 44 long-treated leprosy patients were selected for our study. Samples of early morning sputum were obtained from each patient, examined by microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (AFB), and cultured for tubercle bacilli. These tests were negative, but the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for an insertion sequence believed to b...
متن کاملEffect of Human Sera on the Propagation of Staphylococcal Bacteriophages.
Several investigators (Gratia and Jaiman, 1921; Colvin, 1932) have noted the failure of lysis of susceptible bacteria by bacteriophage in various body fluids. In studies with mycobacteriophages (White and Knight, 1959) it was shown that a factor precipitated by ammonium sulfate in the y-globulin fraction of human serum prevented propagation by mycobacteriophage D-29 on human tubercle bacilli. I...

Some new equations of state which are derived for dense fluids in recent years, namely the linear isotherm regularity (LIR), the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), Inm-Song-Mason equation of state (ISM), and a newly derived semi-emperical equation of state have been used to investigate the common intersection point of isobaric expansivity in αp dense fluids. We have shown that the accura...
