The study was carried out to compare the efficacy of three media namely Modified Thayer Martin medium, McClung's carbon free broth with paraffin bait and paraffin agar in isolating Nocardia species from clinical specimens. Two hundred and seventy six clinical specimens from 245 cases were studied which included cases of bronchopulmonary and systemic infections and cases of mycetoma. Paraffin agar was found to be an inexpensive and selective medium for isolation of Nocardia species when compared with Modified Thayer Martin medium and paraffin bait techniques.
开展该研究是为了比较三种培养基，即改良赛耶-马丁培养基、含石蜡诱饵的麦克朗无碳肉汤和石蜡琼脂，从临床标本中分离诺卡氏菌属的效果。对来自245例患者的276份临床标本进行了研究，这些标本包括支气管肺和全身感染病例以及足分支菌病病例。与改良赛耶-马丁培养基和石蜡诱饵技术相比，石蜡琼脂被发现是一种用于分离诺卡氏菌属的廉价且具选择性的培养基。
