Nonweekend schedule for BACTEC drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Determination of the drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by conventional methods using an agar-based medium may take 3 weeks or more to complete. On the other hand, results on positive cultures are generally available in 4 to 7 days with the radiometric (BACTEC, Johnston Laboratories, Towson, Md.) procedure. One disadvantage to the latter is the requirement to determine the quanti...
متن کاملNitrate reductase assay for drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
In their recent article, Kristian Ängeby et al. (4) reported a novel test for drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, it should be clarified that this method was previously published in 1989 (3) by Emil Kalfin, (National Institute for Lung Diseases, Sofia, Bulgaria) and Andreas Engibarov (National Center of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Sofia, Bulgaria). It is n...
متن کامل[External quality assessment of drug susceptibility testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis].
OBJECTIVE The Committee for Mycobacterial Examinations has planned and implemented the third external quality assessment of drug susceptibility testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the hospital and private laboratories. METHOD The Committee delivered 20 M. tuberculosis strains, exactly pairs of 10 strains, which were evaluated and standardized for the drug resistance pattern in the WHO/ ...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and drug susceptibility testing.
CONTEXT The global control of tuberculosis remains a challenge from the standpoint of diagnosis, detection of drug resistance, and treatment. This is an area of special concern to the health of women and children, particularly in regions of the world with high infant mortality rates and where women have limited access to health care. OBJECTIVE Because treatment can only be initiated when infe...
متن کاملIsothermal RNA sequence amplification method for rapid antituberculosis drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
RNA transcript quantification by an isothermal sequence amplification reaction was evaluated for susceptibility testing of 15 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Agreement with the proportion method on Ogawa egg medium and the BACTEC MGIT 960 system was 100 and 87% for rifampin, 93 and 100% for isoniazid, 60 and 53% for ethambutol, and 80 and 80% for streptomycin, respectively.
