A Rapid Antibacterial Test for Mycobacteria Using a Reverse T Type of Tube in Rocked Culture Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: Antibacterial tests with mycobacteria were carried out in rocked JL tubes (Monod). The medium used was Sauton medium+1% (w/v) Tween 80. It took 48 hr. to get a reproducible value for the ID 50 dose (50% inhibition dose) with tubercle bacilli of human type, and 8 hr. with the avian type.
