Abstract
An acid-fast organism found in 25.5% of 94 tonsils from 94 swine is descr. It produces no recognizable disease in chickens, mice or calves, but subcut. injns. of large doses in guinea-pigs and rabbits produces localized regions of caseation necrosis with no tendency toward extension of the lesion. It sensitizes guinea-pigs to avian (but not to mammalian) tuberculin, and to homologous culture filtrates. Gross agglutination reactions indicate that it has antigenic components in common with the avian tubercle bacillus.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
