Conclusions
In experimentally infected guinea pigs, subcutaneous treatment with PG inhibits extensive tuberculous alterations and prolongs the survival time. Therefore, propylene glycol exerts a favorable action in vivo. Its in vivo suppression of tuberculosis is equal to that of other substances with in vitro bacteriostatic properties. The antituberculous power of propylene glycol in vivo is greater when the treatment begins immediately after infection.
