Implementation of Xpert MTB/RIF requires quality assessment. A pilot program using dried culture spots (DCSs) of inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis is described. Of 274 DCS results received, 2.19% generated errors; the remainder yielded 100% correct Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection. The probe A cycle threshold (C(T)) variability of three DCS batches was ≤ 3.47. The study of longer-term DCS stability is ongoing.
Xpert MTB/RIF 的实施需要质量评估。本文描述了一个使用已灭活结核分枝杆菌干燥培养物斑点(DCS)的试点项目。在收到的 274 份 DCS 结果中,有 2.19%出现错误;其余的结果均为 100%正确的结核分枝杆菌检测。三个 DCS 批次的探针 A 循环阈值(C(T))变异性≤3.47。目前正在对 DCS 的长期稳定性进行研究。
