Fig. 43.—Tubercle ba- cillus slant culture on glyc- erin-agar, several months old.—(Stitt, after Curtis.) is not conclusive, the other two inocu- lated guinea-pigs should be kept 2 weeks longer then dissected and examined like the first. Occasionally there is abscess formation at the point of inoculation but this need not necessarily interfere with the tubercular development in the glands and in the deeper tissues. It is frequently possible to isolate the bacillus of tuberculosis (from sputum, glandular tissues, meat pulp, centrifugal- ized sediments of milk, cream, etc.) by special manipulation and the use of special culture media. The following method is suggested. Spread two or three drops of the material (concentrate, sediment, crushed, suspected tuberculous meat ex- tract, etc.) evenly over the surface of two or three glass slips and place the smear preparations in the drying oven at ioo° C. for 15 min., however, not before the ma- terial on the slips is well dried at the room temperature. Tubercle bacilli are quite resistant to dry heat and will withstand the temperature of ioo° C. for from 30 min. to 1 hr. The exposure to that tem- perature for 15 min. will kill most of the bacteria associated with the tubercle germs and will in fact kill some of these. At the end of 15 min. take the glass slips from the drying oven and by means of a small sterile spatula or scalpel, scrape the dried suspected material over the surface.
