Abstrakt: The hamster is highly resistant to doses of a virulent strain of the human type of tubercle bacilli that produces widespread tuberculosis in guinea pigs. Twenty-four days after infection 0.1 cc of 5% and 10% Old Tuberculin elicits no skin response. Therefore, in our opinion, we consider hamsters of little or no value in routine diagnostic procedures for tuberculosis.
