Abstract
We observed inhibition of PCR in throat swabs submitted in routine bacteriological transport media. Experimental studies showed that agar, which was extracted with DNA by DNAzol (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.), was the inhibitory agent. No inhibitory effect was observed with a transport medium which did not contain agar.Entities:
