A restatement about M. africanum. Diagnosis is based on the aspects of cultures and some biochemical features. Its resistance potentiality is that of M. tuberculosis except for Tb 1 with which resistance is very frequent. It has a rather low experimental virulence and seems to be confined to Africa.
