Evaluation of sodium hydroxide–N-acetyl-l-cysteine and 0.7% chlorhexidine decontamination methods for recovering Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum samples: A comparative analysis (The Gambia Experience)

Objective/Background: To determine the culture yield and time to detection of mycobacterial growth between samples decontaminated using 0.7% chlorhexidine and sodium hydroxide–N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NaOH–NALC) and cultured on the Löwenstein–Jensen (LJ) medium. We also aimed to determine the contaminat...
