This study explored Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) growth from tongue swabs, both experimentally infected after sampling from healthy controls, or sampled from patients with smear-microscopy confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). For both, we evaluated the performance of NALC-NaOH/MGIT960 (MGIT), Kudoh-Ogawa (KO), and cetylpyridinium chloride-Löwenstein-Jensen (CPC/LJ) culture processing methods. Experimentally spiked swabs from 20 participants exhibited 94.
