Abstract
Sputum specimens (3818) were digested and decontaminated for cultivation of tubercle bacilli by means of mixtures of pancreatin and the quaternary ammonium compound, Desogen. This method compared favorably with the NaOH method. Results obtained with different combinations of proteolytic enzymes and quaternary ammonium compounds, as well as with different media, are reported.Keywords
