Abstract
EXPERIMENTS conducted in the first part of this work showed that a high degree of streptomycin resistance can be transmitted to M. phlei when a streptomycin-sensitive strain of this micro-organism and a streptomycin-resistant BCG strain of M. tuberculosis are cultured together in ‘Tween’ liquid medium.
