Abstract
IN our earlier report we directed attention to the importance of chelation as an essential step in the anti-tuberculous activity of isonicotinic hydrazide (isoniazid)1. It was impossible to decide whether the chelating action with a metal or metals took place before (in the medium) or after adsorption on the bacterial cell.
