Comparison of recoveries of mycobacterium tuberculosis using the automated BACTEC MGIT 960 system, the BACTEC 460 TB system, and Löwenstein-Jensen medium.
Using two different liquid media and one conventional solid medium, a total of 57 mycobacterial isolates (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, n = 55; nontuberculous mycobacteria, n = 2) were recovered from 377 clinical specimens. The rates of recovery of M. tuberculosis were 96. 4% with the BACTEC MGIT 960 liquid medium, 92.7% with BACTEC 12B liquid medium, and 81.8% with the Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) med...
متن کاملComparison of BACTEC MGIT 960 system and BACTEC 460 TB system for growth and detection of Mycobacteria from clinical specimens.
This study was carried out to compare the performance of BACTEC MGIT 960 with the BACTEC 460 TB for growth and detection of Mycobacteria from human clinical specimens. The BACTEC MGIT 960 instrument is a fully automated system that utilizes MGIT tubes containing an oxygen sensor embedded in silicon at the bottom and filled with 7 mL of modified Middlebrook 7H9 broth. Identical samples were inoc...
متن کاملComparison of the recovery of Mycobacterium bovis isolates using the BACTEC MGIT 960 system, BACTEC 460 system, and Middlebrook 7H10 and 7H11 solid media.
The BACTEC Microbacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) 960 system was evaluated to determine how it compares with the BACTEC 460 radiometric system and solid media for recovery of Mycobacterium bovis from tissue samples. A total of 506 bovine lymph node samples were collected from abattoirs in the United States and Mexico between November 2003 and September 2004. Processed samples were inoculate...
متن کاملFactors Associated with Missed Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Automated BACTEC MGIT 960 System
Despite the demonstration of excellent performance, mycobacterial growth in BACTEC MGIT 960 can go undetected. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of "false-negative" culture sample in Beijing and the potential factors associated with the detection failures by MGIT 960. Of the 577 sputum samples tested, 141 (24.4%) were culture-positive for mycobacteria, of which 133 (94.3%)...
متن کاملTesting of susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to pyrazinamide with the nonradiometric BACTEC MGIT 960 system.
The reliability of the novel BACTEC MGIT 960 pyrazinamide (PZA) kit (Becton Dickinson Microbiology Systems, Sparks, Md.) was assessed for testing of susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to PZA. Results generated by the BACTEC MGIT 960 system (Becton Dickinson) were compared with those obtained with the BACTEC 460TB system. Extensive proficiency testing (phase I) and reproducibility test...
