Fast, Simple, and Cheap: the Kudoh-Ogawa Swab Method as an Alternative to the Petroff–Lowenstein-Jensen Method for Culturing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Open accessAbstract
The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of the Kudoh-Ogawa (K-O) swab method for the culturing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from clinical samples with the standard Petroff–Lowenstein-Jensen (P-LJ) procedure. A total of 2,287 sputum samples and 685 extrapulmonary clinical specimens were processed with both decontamination methods and compared for M. tuberculosis detection rate, recovery of M. tuberculosis colonies, and culture contamination.

In the citing paper
“Culture on LJ medium is the gold standard, but it takes 8–12 weeks, requires approximately 10–100 bacilli in the sample [6, 9].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
