Airborne immunization against tuberculosis

M L COHN et al. Science. .

Abstract

Inhalation of very small numbers of living attenuated (BCG) organisms and their multiplication in guinea pigs results in the development of acquired resistance against subsequent airborne infection with virulent tubercle bacilli. Different strains of BCG have differing capacities to immunize by this means.
