| swine tuberculosis in south dakota. | mycobacteria were isolated from 195 of 200 lesions in lymph nodes identified as granulomatous by meat inspectors at 4 abattoirs in south dakota. mycobacterium avium serotypes 1 and 2 accounted for 89% of the isolants. mycobacteria were isolated more frequently from lesions than acid-fast bacilli were observed on microscopic examination (p less than 0.001). the frequency with which mycobacteria was isolated was similar to the occurrence of granulomatous lesions. the numbers of the various kinds o ... | 1975 | 1150507 |
| lesions of bone in disseminated infection due to the mycobacterium avium-intracellulare group. report of a case. | a white child with a long history of illness from the age of six was thought at first to have hodgkin's disease. there followed an acute illness with lesions involving glands, lungs, bone and skin. mycobacterium avium-intracellulare group (battey) was isolated from various lesions at the age of thirteen. after six years of continuous treatment the patient, now eighteen, is living a normal life. | 1975 | 1158950 |

| [ a case of avian tuberculosis with exudative characteristics in a horse (author's transl)]. | a case of avian tuberculosis in a horse, with fatal course, is reported. the animal was imported from poland and became ill after some weeks, in the beginning showing non-specific symptoms which became more severe until death supervened. post-mortem examination showed a generalised form of tuberculosis. the most important lesions were seen in the lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, intestinal tract, bones, bone marrow, and the internal lymph nodes. beside chronic proliferative tuberculosis of the org ... | 1975 | 1166437 |

| micromethod for serotyping strains of mycobacterium avium. | a rapid and economical micromethod for serotyping strains of mycobacterium avium is described. eighty-four of 91 strains representing 20 serotypes were successfully identified. | 1975 | 1176616 |
| seroagglutination test for identification of mycobacterium paratuberculosis. | twenty-nine of 30 strains of mycobacterium paratuberculosis isolated from clinical specimens were serologically identified. no cross-reactions were observed with mycobacterium avium serotypes 1, 2, 4, and 8. | 1975 | 1176634 |

| endocellular parasitism of mycobacterium avium in rabbit liver. a morphological study. | yersin's type of experimental tuberculosis was induced in rabbits by intravenous administration of mycobacterium avium and was studied in situ in the liver. mycobacteria were only found in kupffer-cell phagosomes and, at the later stages of the disease, in the phagosomes of the multinuclear giant cells. ultrastructural changes in kupffer's cells amounted to an increase in cytoplasm volume and corresponding increase in the number of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. as compared w ... | 1975 | 1233279 |
| [generalized mycobacterium avium infection in an infant (author's transl)]. | in a 3-year-old girl, who was admitted to our hospital with marked splenomegaly, a swollen abdomen and progressive loss of weight, the difficulty in establishing the correct diagnosis, namely a very rare generalized infection with mycobacterium avium (serum type iii), and the lengthy course of the disease are demonstrated. norcardiosis, sarcoidosis and bcg-granulomatosis were excluded. from the spleen, lymphatic nodes, gastric juice, stools and urine of the child, who had not been vaccinated wit ... | 1975 | 1237756 |
| experimentally induced mycobacterium avium serotype 8 infection in swine. | five of 6 swine experimentally inoculated with mycobacterium avium serotype 8 had microgranulomas in the cervical or mesenteric lymph nodes at necropsy 92 days later. in vivo tuberculin skin reactivity and in vitro lymphocyte immunostimulation responses were evaluated at 10 and 12 weeks after the pigs were inoculated. positive responses were obtained on both tests in inoculated pigs, whereas test results in noninoculated pigs and pigs given killed bacterial cells were negative. mycobacterium avi ... | 1976 | 1259214 |
| effect of temperature on the rate of the transparent to opaque colony type transition in mycobacterium avium. | the results of drug susceptibility tests were found to be affected by changes that occur spontaneously in populations of mycobacterium avium maintained in the laboratory. because the transparent colony type variant was resistant to antituberculosis chemotherapeutic agents and the opaque colony type variant was usually susceptible to these agents, the transition of transparent to opaque colony type was investigated. the rate of the transition was found to be temperature dependent and, in agreemen ... | 1976 | 1259385 |
