THE EFFECT OF VITAMIN K ON MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE MURIUM

Abstract

Vitamin Kovarious concentration was poured into test tubes of Mycobacterium leprae murium, or was injected into white rats previously inoculated with Mycobacterium without finding any recognisable effect. However, in both cases it was found out that vitamin K enabled in a small degree Mycobacterium Ieprae murium and lepromas grow less actively than otherwise.
