Magnetic bead protocol for culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum specimens.
A magnetic bead protocol and a standard centrifugation protocol yielded Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 40/50 sputum specimens in 12 ± 1 days and 11 ± 2 days, respectively (P > 0.05 by Student's t test). Manipulation took 35 ± 5 min and 45 ± 10 min, respectively (P < 0.05). The magnetic bead protocol could advantageously replace centrifugation for culturing M. tuberculosis from sputum.
متن کاملCulture of specimens other than sputum for Mycobacteria.
A comparison has been made of Lowenstein-Jensen medium, with or without added pyruvate, 7H11 oleic acid-albumin agar slopes made selective by the addition of antibiotics, and selective Kirchner medium in the isolation of tubercle bacilli from specimens other than sputum. A combination of a standard mild preliminary treatment with sulphuric acid and selective medium reduced the contamination rat...
متن کاملProcedures for collection of induced sputum specimens from children.
In most settings, sputum is not routinely collected for microbiological diagnosis from children with lower respiratory disease. To evaluate whether it is feasible and diagnostically useful to collect sputum in the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study, we reviewed the literature on induced sputum procedures. Protocols for induced sputum in children were collated from publis...
متن کاملAcceptability of Sputum Specimens for Diagnosing Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The evaluation of the quality of a sputum specimen prior to bacterial culture has been an accepted practice. However, optimal sputum criteria for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) are not well established. We investigated indicators for sputum acceptability in tuberculosis cultures and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear. A post-hoc analysis of a randomized trial with 228 sputum specimens from 77 patients ...
