RESUMO
While attempting to grow M. leprae in an innovated culture medium, organisms similar to Propionibacterium, but not conforming to any of its documented types, were isolated from lepromatous nodules in 10 out of 15 leprosy cases. Subsequently, a similar organism could also be isolated from the depth of the skin of normal persons but not from their skin surface. The possible role of Propionibacterium in the pathogenesis of leprosy or other skin infections has been discussed.
