Collection method for Mycobacterium leprae from infected armadillo liver
Int J Lepr Other Mycobact Dis.
1984 Mar.
Abstract
Leprosy bacilli were separated from infected armadillo liver almost free from tissue contaminants by a Percoll gradient centrifugation. The yield of bacilli was 46.7%. This is a very simple and effective method without enzyme treatment.
