    Guidelines for collection, Transport and Storage of Specimens for Anaerobic Culture -All specimens should be held at temperature pending processing in the laboratory because the refrigerator can oxygenate the specimen -An improperly collected specimen may result in the growth of many different anaerobes. -The Specimen must be collected from the actual site of the infection and not just a swab of a mucosal surface (material for anaerobic culture is best obtained by tissue or by aspiration using a needle and syringe.) -Swabs should be used only when aspiration of material is not possible and a biopsy specimen is not available -The swabs should be placed into 0.5 ml sterile thioglycolate broth. -Food and fecal specimens suspected of C.pefringens food poisoning should be transported at 4 degrees Celsius -A crucial factor in the final success of anaerobic cultures is the transport of the specimen.

    Guidelines for collection, Transport and Storage of Specimens for Anaerobic Culture -All specimens should be held at temperature pending processing in the laboratory because the refrigerator can oxygenate the specimen -An improperly collected specimen may result in the growth of many different anaerobes. -The Specimen must be collected from the actual site of the infection and not just a swab of a mucosal surface (material for anaerobic culture is best obtained by tissue or by aspiration using a needle and syringe.) -Swabs should be used only when aspiration of material is not possible and a biopsy specimen is not available -The swabs should be placed into 0.5 ml sterile thioglycolate broth. -Food and fecal specimens suspected of C.pefringens food poisoning should be transported at 4 degrees Celsius -A crucial factor in the final success of anaerobic cultures is the transport of the specimen.
