Evaluation of the Kudoh method for mycobacterial culture: Gambia experience

Conclusion The Kudoh method is simpler and cheaper than the NALC-NaOH method. There was no significant difference in recovery between the methods. The Kudoh method is ideal in overburdened TB laboratories with poor resources in developing countries. The predominant lineages were Euro-American and Indo-Oceanic, followed by M. africanum (West African type 2).
