Abstract
The survival of Ureaplasma urealyticum on five different types of swabs routinely used for obtaining clinical specimens is limited to 1 h. Wooden applicator sticks inhibit the alkaline color change in broth and result in a significant loss of isolates if broth alone is used.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
