Popis: | Mycobacterium leprae was isolated from skin-punch biopsies of 2 untreated lepromatous leprosy patients. The bacteria were enumerated, diluted 10-fold and cultured in Middlebrook 7H9 medium supplemented with albumin, dextrose, catalase and 14C-palmitic acid. The cultures were incubated at 33 degrees C in a modified Buddemeyer radiorespiratory detection vessel. Those cultures containing at least 10(7) mycobacteria demonstrated a progressive evolution of 14CO2. |
