Abstract
Susceptibility of M. lepraemurium against mycobacteriophage C3 and D29 strains was tested in NC-15 medium for quantitative multiplication of M. lepraemurium. Myco-bacteriophage infected bacilli were cultivated with the period of O, two and four weeks and propagation of phage was titered every two weeks after infection. The results obta-ined indicated that M. lepraemurium was insusceptible to the mycobacteriophages tested.Consequently, it was suggested that M. lepraemurium might belong to a sort of M.avium in some biological properties.
