The host and parasite relationship of the tubercle bacillus and tissue cells has been extensively studied since the days of Koch. The ability or virulent tubercle bacilli to penetrate and to multiply intracellularly causing damage to the host cell has not yet been fully explained. Suter (1952) believes that the fate of the infection could be attributed mainly to the inhibition or some vital function or the cell with its consequent destruction. Thus two properties at least may be necessary to enable tubercle bacilli to establish progressive infection.
