...methods of discovering the bacilli in sputum. One was to stain a smear with dyes and search for the germs with a microscope. That was crude and inaccurate. The other was to inject suspected sputum into guinea pigs, creatures unusually susceptible to tuberculosis. That was slow and expensive. A quicker, surer method of diagnosis was needed...
