METHOD OF DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM FROM SURFACE

摘要

medicinal and veterinary microbiology. SUBSTANCE: method involves collection of mycobacteria by wetted tampon and their culturing. Elastic small-porous material is used as a tampon. Wetting and incubation of tampon is carried out in solution inhibiting development of other microorganisms. Mycobacteria adsorbed on tampon and isolated by centrifugation are cultured separately in nutrient media. Invention can be used in laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. EFFECT: increased detection of mycobacteria, decreased time of analysis. 3 cl, 4 tbl
