The performance of the MB-Check system (Roche) in the recovery of mycobacteria from clinical specimens was compared with that of the Bactec radiometric system and conventional culture on Löwenstein-Jensen medium. A total of 1,582 clinical specimens were used for the study; 74 yielded mycobacteria. Organisms of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complexes accounted for the majority of isolates. The rate of recovery of all mycobacteria with the Bactec system was 91.9%, with the MB-Check system 79.7% and on Löwenstein-Jensen medium only 54.1%. Combination of the Bactec and MB-Check systems allowed recovery of 100% of isolates. The Bactec system showed a faster detection time than the other two methods.
将MB-Check系统（罗氏公司）从临床标本中回收分枝杆菌的性能与Bactec放射测量系统及在罗-琴培养基上进行的传统培养法进行了比较。该研究共使用了1582份临床标本；其中74份培养出了分枝杆菌。结核分枝杆菌复合体和鸟分枝杆菌复合体的菌株占分离株的大多数。Bactec系统回收所有分枝杆菌的比例为91.9%，MB-Check系统为79.7%，而在罗-琴培养基上仅为54.1%。Bactec系统与MB-Check系统联合使用可回收100%的分离株。Bactec系统的检测时间比其他两种方法更快。
