A brief review is presented of those properties of mycobacteria (genus Mycobacterium) which have a bearing on human medicine. The properties are set out in the form of tables covering the important cultural and biochemical tests used in taxonomy, resistance vs. sensitivity to a range of antituberculous drugs, and virulence and pathogenic effect in man and laboratory animals.
