A simple technique for culturing tubercle bacilli.

Abstract: Microscopy, traditionally used in peripheral health centres to diagnose tuberculosis, could be supplemented by sputum culture if sputum specimens were inoculated on suitable media and sent to intermediate or central laboratories to be incubated and read. To facilitate this procedure, the authors propose a simplified swab culture method and a modification of Ogawa's egg medium.
