| Abstract |
|
The present study was carricd out to determine the immunizing effect of six strains of unclassified mycobacteria saprophytes and BCG, to M. tuberculosis in rabbits which were vaccinacd with the above three groups of strain.
The unclassified mycobacteria was isolated from the patients’ sputa who were clinically dingnosed as
having the so-called active pulmonary tuberculosis in Korea. The saprophytic strains includes M. for-tuitum, M. smegmatis and acid-fast bacilli isolated from soil. The result obtained is summarized as follow: BCG is more effective in immunity against infection with M. tuberculosis among the above three groups, and unclassified mycobacteria was found to have a partial immunity to M. tuberculosis, while saprophytes failed to show protective ability against M. tuberculosis as seen in the control group. |
