Early detection of negative BACTEC MGIT 960 cultures by PCR-reverse cross-blot hybridization assay.
We evaluated the efficacy of a PCR-reverse cross-blot hybridization assay, a test which permits identification of mycobacteria by means of species-specific probes and a Mycobacterium-specific probe, for early detection of negative BACTEC MGIT 960 mycobacterial cultures. Aliquots of 549 cultures were collected 7 days after the culture media were inoculated with various clinical specimens and tes...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR and Reverse Line Blot Hybridization Assay (mPCR/RLB)
Multiplex PCR/Reverse Line Blot Hybridization assay allows the detection of up to 43 molecular targets in 43 samples using one multiplex PCR reaction followed by probe hybridization on a nylon membrane, which is re-usable. Probes are 5' amine modified to allow fixation to the membrane. Primers are 5' biotin modified which allows detection of hybridized PCR products using streptavidin-peroxidase...
متن کاملThin layer agar compared to BACTEC MGIT 960 for early detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
We compared the sensitivity and time to detection of growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the thin layer agar (TLA) compared to BACTEC MGIT960. The average time for growth of M. tuberculosis in TLA and BACTEC MGIT960 was 10.6 and 9.6 days, respectively. The sensitivity of detection of M. tuberculosis was 97.3% on TLA and 97% on BACTEC MGIT960 for smear positive samples. TLA showed comparable...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium species following growth detection with the BACTEC MGIT 960 system by DNA line probe assay.
BACKGROUND The tuberculosis and infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) species are increasing in patients presented with respiratory illness, and it is crucial to document the epidemiology of these infections. OBJECTIVES To study the mycobacterial species and in vitro drug susceptibility trends of Mycobacterium tuberculosis found in the respiratory specimens. MATERIALS AND ...
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%)...
