Mycolic acid patterns of four vaccine strains of Mycobacterium bovis BCG. 1983

D E Minnikin, and S M Minnikin, and G Dobson, and M Goodfellow, and F Portaels, and L van den Breen, and D Sesardic

Thin-layer chromatography of methanolysates of four widely used vaccine strains of Mycobacterium bovis BCG showed that only one organism had the expected pattern of mycolic acid methyl esters characteristic of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The remaining three BCG strains lacked methoxy mycolic acid.
