Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS on enzymes of Mycobacteria reported from this laboratory1 and elsewhere2,3 have shown the importance of cellular peroxidase for the activity of isoniazid. Results of an extension of these studies bearing on the effect of peroxidase on the tuberculostatic activity of isoniazid form the basis of the present communication.
