Abstract
Strains of Myco. tuberculosis from 214 patients were tested in parallel for isoniazid resistance by a disc diffusion method on Löwenstein-Jensen medium and by a tube dilution technique on the same medium. The results of the two methods agreed closely. The disc method would therefore appear to be a reliable technique for screening resistant organisms; it avoids the extensive preparation and storage of medium containing isoniazid.
