The Septi-Chek AFB system for the recovery of mycobacteria from clinical specimens was compared with a conventional approach using Lowenstein-Jensen and Middlebrook 7H11 agars. A total of 1,532 clinical specimens were analyzed; 132 yielded mycobacteria. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complexes were the predominant isolates. With the conventional combination of Lowenstein-Jensen and 7H11 agars, 75.8% of the isolates were recovered; the Septi-Chek AFB allowed recovery of 100% of the isolates. Septi-Chek AFB required less time for the detection of mycobacteria than did the conventional media.
将用于从临床标本中分离分枝杆菌的Septi-Chek AFB系统与使用罗-琴培养基和Middlebrook 7H11琼脂的传统方法进行了比较。共分析了1532份临床标本;其中132份培养出了分枝杆菌。结核分枝杆菌和鸟分枝杆菌复合体是主要的分离菌株。使用罗-琴培养基和7H11琼脂的传统组合,75.8%的分离菌株被成功分离;而Septi-Chek AFB系统能分离出100%的菌株。与传统培养基相比,Septi-Chek AFB系统检测分枝杆菌所需的时间更短。
