Abstract
Calcium alginate, dacron, rayon and cotton wool tipped swabs, in combination with charcoal horse blood transport medium with cephalexin, were compared with regard to their ability to maintain viability of Bordetella pertussis. Calcium alginate proved to be the most suitable swab material. A field trial confirmed the results of the laboratory study.Entities:
