Abstract

THE isolation of mycobacteriophages from stool and resection specimens of patients with tuberculosis or sarcoidosis was first described in 1961 (ref. 1). Further results obtained during the past 5 yr in isolations of mycobacteriophages are reproduced in Table 1. These figures show that healthy persons rarely harbour mycobacteriophages in their intestinal tract, whereas stool and resection specimens of patients with tuberculosis or sarcoidosis frequently contain these mycobacteriophages.
