Description
In 1958 Schweiger et al. determined catalase activity of acid-fast bacilli quantitatively at different pHs and temperatures, and suggested the possibility of discriminating virulent human and povine strains from their avirulent variants and saproplytic acid-fast bacilli.<BR>Also Kubica et al. in 1960 proved the qualitative catalase activity determination to be an effective method for the classification of the strains.<BR>The present authors discussed the possibility of subgrouping on the basis of catalase activity at different pHs and temperatures.
