Explanation / Answer

Bacteria is eliminated during the AFB digestion and decontamination process by treating the sputum with NALC-NaOH. NALC is a mucolytic agent that performs rapid digestion of sputum, so that lower concentration (1-1.5%) of NaOH (decontaminating agent) can be used. The decontamination process also includes the use of sodium citrate which chelates heavy metal ions that might inactivate NALC.
