Abstract
A mycobacterium isolated from mouse-brain suspensions has low pathogenicity for laboratory animals. The lesions are in the form of microscopic tubercles found mainly in liver and intra-abdominal lymph nodes and rarely in the spleen or lungs. Lesions produced by this strain are compared with those produced by certain other strains of mycobacteria.Keywords
