Abstract
In a comparison of the Bactec system and the lysis concentration procedure in the isolation of Brucella species in 54 patients the recovery rate was similar (60 % and 55 %, respectively). However, the recovery time was significantly shorter with the lysis concentration method than with the Bactec system (3.5 days versus 14 days). The lysis concentration procedure for the culture of Brucella is simple, inexpensive and reliable, and produces results for the clinician relatively quickly.
