Branched, weakly acid fast organisms were isolated from 5 of 112 caseous lymph nodes derived from slaughter-house pigs. In two cases they were associated with typical Mycobacterium avium strains. The bacteria differed from all other mycobacteria known at present. Limited experiments in pigs with one strain failed to disclose a possible pathogenic role in the host species although this strain was pathogenic for mice. Tests with this and three other strains showed that all four were apathogenic for chickens.
从112个来自屠宰场猪的干酪样淋巴结中的5个分离出了分支、弱抗酸菌。在两例中，它们与典型的鸟分枝杆菌菌株有关。这些细菌与目前已知的所有其他分枝杆菌不同。用其中一个菌株在猪身上进行的有限实验未能揭示其在宿主物种中可能的致病作用，尽管该菌株对小鼠具有致病性。对该菌株和其他三个菌株的测试表明，所有这四个菌株对鸡都无致病性。
