MYCOBACTERIAL PENICILLINASE ACTIVITY

Abstract
Cultures (64) of mycobacterial species and types were examined for penicillinase activity. All Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Group IV strains completely inactivated penicillin in this test system. Group I and Group II strains varied in their ability to inactivate penicillin. Penicillinase activity was not demonstrated in Group III.
