A cost-effective anaerobic culture method & its comparison with a standard method

A cost-effective anaerobic culture method & its comparison with a standard method

Twenty six anaerobes were recovered from 150 deep-seated abscess samples cultured by the proposed two-step combustion-modified candle-jar system and Anoxomat. The degree of growth and colony size were similar in both systems, except for Clostridium difficile. The modified candle-jar system was found...
