Transport media were chosen as following; (1) Seed swab gi (Eiken Chemical, Ltd., Cary-Blair media), (2) Seed swab giii ( Eiken Chemical, Ltd., Amies with charcoal), (3) BD BBL Culture Swab Plus Single (BD, Amies), (4) BD BBL Culture Swab EZ (BD, additive-free of media) and (5) Mentip (JCB Industry Ltd., the swab was kept in a sterilized spitz). There was inoculums size from 3.2 to 13.5 of Bordetella pertussis ATCC9797 in each commercial transport swabs. Reduce of inoculums size was from 0 to 70.3 for 24 hours of the room temperature storage. (3) and (5) in particular remarkable reduced inoculums size. We demonstrated that all of five commercial swabs were hard to take inoculums, inoculums sizes were remarkably decrease caused by storage, and it might be di$cult to perform Bordetella pertussis culture by the swab method. 21
