Abstract
Gastric mucin significantly enhances the virulence of tubercle bacilli for pigmented strains (dba, C3H or C57 black) of mice. Grossly visible lesions containing large numbers of tubercle bacilli are usually present 10 days after intraperitoneal inoculation with the dosages and strains of tubercle bacilli studied. Several isolations of tubercle bacilli from patients have been made 10 to 15 days after inoculation by use of pigmented mice (dba or C3H) and mucin.
