Abstract
We observed inhibition of PCR in throat swabs submitted in routine bac
teriological transport media. Experimental studies showed that agar, w
hich was extracted,vith DNA by DNAzol (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.),
was the inhibitory agent. No inhibitory effect was observed with a tra
nsport medium which did not contain agar.
