title: [Bacteriological aspects of extrarespiratory tuberculosis].
abstract: 775 strains of extrapulmonary tubercle bacilli isolated during four years (1968-1972) were studied. Our results enabled us to confirm the paucibacillary nature of these tuberculous sites and the variety of their resistance to antibiotics. The comparison between the levels and types of primary resistance in pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis enabled us to better understand the transmission mechanisms of the tubercle bacilli in the community and its progress in the infected organism.
