Isolation of M. tuberculosis by Inoculation of the Yolk Sac of Embryonated Eggs.

Conclusions Inoculation of the yolk sac of 5- to 8-day embryonated eggs provides a rapid method for demonstrating the presence of M. tuberculosis in materials collected from patients with suspected tuberculous infections. Acid fast bacilli are readily demonstrated in the yolk of embryos 4 to 6 days...
