A modified decontamination and storage method for sputum from patients with tuberculosis

2025-02-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Collecting and storing large number of sputum samples with a view to culturing these in the future requires an efficient initial handling method. We devised a modified sputum digestion and decontamination method that maximised storage capacity and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) recovery from culture while minimising laboratory workload and risk of contamination. Methods We collected smear...
