The authors examined the adaptive variability of pathogens of human and avian tuberculosis, consequently passaged on calves 4 times, that of human and bovine tuberculosis, consequently passaged on chickens 8 times, and Mycobacteria of avian tuberculosis, consequently passaged on guinea-pigs 8 times. Due to consequent passages of Mycobacteria tuberculosis on their uncommon host, they were found to acquire properties species-specific to the animal through whose body they had been passaged.
