Strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were obtained from 65 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis resident in Uganda, and from pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in 42 British patients of European ethnic stock and in 67 Asian immigrants, often from Uganda, resident in Britain. The bacteriophage-type patterns of the African, British and Asian strains were different. The pattern for the Asian strains resembled that found previously in patients from South India, suggesting that there has been little interchange of organisms between the Asian community and the African and British communities alongside whom they have lived. The patterns for pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis were similar. Strains of bacteriophage type 1, mainly obtained from Asians, were characterized by a greater susceptibility to the bactericidal activity of hydrogen-peroxide and/or a greater sensitivity to thiophen-2-carbonic acid hydrazide than strains of other types.
结核分枝杆菌菌株取自65名居住在乌干达的肺结核患者，以及42名欧洲裔英国患者和67名通常来自乌干达、居住在英国的亚洲移民的肺结核和肺外结核患者。非洲、英国和亚洲菌株的噬菌体类型模式不同。亚洲菌株的模式与之前在南印度患者中发现的模式相似，这表明在亚洲社区与他们共同生活的非洲和英国社区之间，微生物的交换很少。肺结核和肺外结核的模式相似。主要从亚洲人身上获得的1型噬菌体菌株，其特征是比其他类型的菌株对过氧化氢的杀菌活性更敏感和/或对硫代苯-2-碳酸酰肼更敏感。
