Blood media for the cultivation of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent studies (Tarshis, 1952, 1953) it was found that a modified human blood medium was more satisfactory for the cultivation of tubercle bacilli than several other blood media previously described (Tarshis and Frisch, 1951; Frisch and Tarshis, 1951). Since comparison of this medium under routine diagnostic condition was somewhat limited, a more thorough evaluation was felt desirable. In this investigation the blood medium was compared with the Lowenstein-Jensen medium (Holm and Lester, 1941, 1947).
