A relatively simple technique for sputum homogenization and dilution is described. Results show that this technique is reliable for isolation and quantitative culture of organisms from cases of chest infection. The technique has resulted in significant reduction in false positive reports, particularly when a system of interpretative reporting is utilized based on 10(7) organisms per millilitre of sputum being accepted as evidence of significant infection.
本文描述了一种相对简单的痰液匀化和稀释技术。结果表明,该技术对于从胸部感染病例中分离和定量培养微生物是可靠的。该技术显著减少了假阳性报告,特别是当采用基于每毫升痰液中10⁷个微生物被视为严重感染证据的解释性报告系统时。
