The tbc bacillus is known to have a filtered invisible form, which, according to Rabinowitsch-Kempner's experiments, passes through the placenta in pregnant animals (guinea pigs), becoming an acid-fast bacillus in the young generation. The virulence of this bacillus is apparently very low; it rarely causes progressive tbc in young animals.
