Abstract
The reproducibility of results in the test procedure against the pure chemical phenol, using the test organism Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. bovis (BCG), was investigated. The method showed a remarkable degree of precision. The tuberculocidal activity of various concentrations of ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol was also investigated, since these two chemicals have been widely used as tuberculocidal agents.Keywords
