چکیده
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the VersaTREK system for Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing compared with results obtained with the Bactec MGIT 960 system. A total of 67 strains were evaluated. Overall agreement was at 98.5%. Kappa indexes were 1.0 for isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol, 0.937 for pyrazinamide, and 0.907 for streptomycin. The VersaTREK system is validated for M. tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing.

Evaluation of BACTEC MGIT 960 system for the second-line drugs susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in China.
When the performance of the BACTEC MGIT 960 system was evaluated with the traditional proportion method (PM) on 321 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from China, concordance values were 98.44% capreomycin, 98.75% kanamycin, 98.75% ofloxacin and 94.08% ethionamide. The turnaround time with BACTEC MGIT 960 system (7.5±1.8 days) was significantly shorter than with PM (28 days or 42 d...
