Popis: A new method for enhancing the sensitivity of white mice to infection with faintly virulent mycobacteria is proposed. The method consists in the sensitization of animals with pertussis monovaccine introduced in a single-intraperitoneal injection 7 days before the infection of animals with the culture under study. The method permitted the detection of residual virulence in all opportunistic mycobacteria under study.
