We confirmed that chlorhexidine decontamination yielded more nontuberculous mycobacteria than did the N-acetyl-l-cysteine-NaOH-oxalic acid procedure from respiratory samples of cystic fibrosis patients on solid cultures. However, this improved recovery is mostly balanced if the latter is combined with liquid culture. Furthermore, none of the 145 cough swabs, used to sample young children, cultured positive, suggesting that swabs are low-quality samples.
我们证实,在固体培养基上,对于囊性纤维化患者的呼吸道样本,洗必泰去污法比N-乙酰-L-半胱氨酸-氢氧化钠-草酸法产生更多的非结核分枝杆菌。然而,如果将后者与液体培养相结合,这种回收率的提高大多会被抵消。此外,用于采集幼儿样本的145份咳嗽拭子均未培养出阳性结果,这表明拭子是质量较差的样本。
