Performance comparison of a pair of Lowenstein–Jensen media supplemented with pyruvate or glycerol, and the combination of both supplements in a single Lowenstein–Jensen medium for the growth support of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

Objective/Background: To evaluate the performance of Lowenstein–Jensen medium (LJ) supplemented with pyruvate and glycerol (LJPG), compared with LJ supplemented with pyruvate (LJP) or glycerol (LJG) for the support of mycobacterial growth. Method: This study used 100 Ziehl-Neelsen-confirmed positive...
