Detection and recovery of mycobacteria by a radiometric procedure

H Takahashi, V Foster

Detection and recovery of mycobacteria by a radiometric procedure

H Takahashi et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1983 Feb.

Abstract

During a 6-month period, 5,375 clinical specimens were cultured on Middlebrook-Cohn 7H10 medium, on Lowenstein-Jensen medium, and in Middlebrook 7H12 medium containing [14C]palmitic acid. More mycobacteria were recovered when all three media were used than when either the conventional method with 7H10 agar and Lowenstein-Jensen slants or the radiometric method with 7H12 broth was used alone.
