Evaluation of Processing Methods To Equitably Aliquot Sputa for Mycobacterial Testing

We compared bacillary loads after splitting sputum specimens by chemical (N-acetyl-l-cysteine [NALC]) and mechanical homogenization by vortexing with sterile glass beads. NALC and vortexing with glass beads were equally effective at homogenizing sputum specimens, resulting in an equal distribution o...
