Selective media in the isolation of tubercle bacilli from tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct culture on Lowenstein-Jensen slopes and on three media made selective for tubercle bacilli by the addition of four antibacterial agents was compared with guinea-pig inoculation on 490 tissue specimens. Tubercle bacilli were obtained from 15 specimens by culture and 14 by guinea-pig inoculation; only one specimen was positive by guinea-pig and not by culture. The most efficient culture medium was a selective 7H11 slope. Routine guinea-pig inoculation has been replaced by a wider range of culture procedures.

Growth Requirements of Dysgonic and Eugonic Strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
On pr imary isolation from natural sources, bovine tubercle bacilli grow more poorly on ordinary culture media than do human tubercle bacilli. After prolonged incubation or numerous transfers, however, they often give rise to variants which grow more rapidly (1-4). The primary, slow growing cultures have been called "dysgonic" and the var iant rapidly growing strains "eugonic" (S). The experime...
متن کاملThe Effect of Spermine on Tubercle Bacilli
A crystalline substance capable of suppressing the growth of a variety of mycobacteria in vitro has been isolated from extracts of tissue in acidified dilute ethanol. This inhibitory material was found to be equally active against virulent, attenuated, and avirulent variants of human and bovine tubercle bacilli, but had little or no effect on saprophytic mycobacteria and on several non-acid-fas...

As part of a series of investigations at Baba Baghi Leprosarium in lran, 44 long-treated leprosy patients were selected for our study. Samples of early morning sputum were obtained from each patient, examined by microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (AFB), and cultured for tubercle bacilli. These tests were negative, but the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for an insertion sequence believed to b...
متن کاملA Method for the Determination of the Rate of Growth of Tubercle Bacilli by the Use of Small Inocula.
Older observations on the nutritive requirements and metabolism of virulent tubercle bacilli do not have quantitative significance because of the lack of accurate methods for the estimation of the rate of growth. The recognition in recent years that these organism grow just as well when submerged in liquid media as on the surface of liquid or solid media has eliminated some of the difficulties ...
