A prospective study of false-positive cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that resulted from laboratory cross-contamination was conducted at three laboratories in California. Laboratory cross-contamination accounted for 2% of the positive cultures. Cross-contamination should be a concern when an isolate matches the genotype of another sample processed during the same period.
在加利福尼亚州的三个实验室进行了一项关于因实验室交叉污染导致结核分枝杆菌培养假阳性的前瞻性研究。实验室交叉污染占阳性培养物的2%。当分离株与同一时期处理的另一个样本的基因型匹配时,交叉污染应引起关注。
