ABSTRACT:
An in vitro diagnostic technique for quantitative analysis of human sputum, such as lung fluid, for the presence of microbial pathogens is provided wherein a sputum sample is contacted with a minor quantity of nontoxic saponin to degrade the viscosity of the sputum and thereafter the sputum is thoroughly admixed to distribute microbial pathogens generally uniformly therein. The sputum can be diluted as desired and then subjected to conventional analytical techniques, i.e., plating on growth media and recording results.
