These acid-fast bacilli, resembling human and rat leprosy bacilli, together with other actinomycotic bodies, appeared to explain the characteristic macrophage granuloma observed in such lesions, similar to those of humans. These isolates possessed fundamental similarities to the human isolates of chemoautotrophic nocardioform bacteria reported earlier.</p>  a0019-5189
