In our laboratory, culture of sputum was extremely useful in diagnosing the etiology of pneumococcal pneumonia. Of 31 consecutive patients with bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, 29 (94%) had Streptococcus pneumoniae cultured from sputum. Recovery of pneumococci in culture was enhanced by anaerobic incubation as well as by a plate bile test and an optochin disk on a primary blood agar plate.
在我们实验室,痰液培养对于诊断肺炎球菌肺炎的病因极为有用。在连续31例菌血症性肺炎球菌肺炎患者中,29例(94%)痰液培养出肺炎链球菌。在初代血琼脂平板上进行厌氧培养以及平板胆汁试验和奥普托欣纸片试验可提高培养中肺炎球菌的检出率。
