Abstract
Summary
The first report regarding in vitro growth patterns of M. lepraemurium was presented. Evidence is indicated that a growth mode of a single cell of M. lepraemurium in vitro is similar to that of culturble mycobacterium, especially atypical myco-bacterium. This finding has added one property to characteristics of M. lepraemurium which have been already known.
This work was partially aided by a Grant of US-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program in 1973.
