Summary: | By comparative studies of sampling methods it was shown that specimens should be obtained preferably by aspiration in order to avoid contamination by anaerobic flora. Anaerobic transport systems are recommended, though some anaerobic strains tolerate exposure to air surprisingly well. A gassed-out tube or vial is the method of choice for transporting fluid specimens for anaerobic culture. |
