Experimental studies on the effect of tbc toxin on the female reproductive sphere were first performed by the author who injected into rabbits a certain dose of suspensions of killed tbc bacilli, the toxicity of which has been strictly established. In doing so, the author obtained histological changes in the ovaries in utero much more easily than when other microbes were injected. In particular, in the ovaries of adult rabbits, degeneration of medium-sized follicles proved to be specific for tbc toxin.
