title: [Methods for collection, transport and culture media].
abstract: A crucial factor affecting the ultimate success of anaerobic cultures is a proper specimen collection, with care to avoid inclusion of normal flora often present on human mucosa. In general, material for anaerobic cultures is best obtained using a needle and syringe, from which the air must be expelled. Then the specimens should be placed immediately into an anaerobic transport broth and then in suitable culture pre-reduced media.
