Add to ORKGVarious chemical agents have been employ-ed for digestion of sputum in the culture of tubercle bacillus. An ideal agent should be one which would prevent contamination, homogenise sputum completely and effectively and yet would not affect appreciably the viability of the bacillus. Petroff (1915) developed the first practicable method for the isolation in pure cultures of tubercle bacilli from contaminated material by using sodium hydroxide. Lowenstein (1924) investigated the use of sulphuric acid. Thirty specimens were treated with 10-20 % sulphuric acid with an exposure time of 10-60 minutes and all yielded positive cultures on media
