Clinical samples from 433 patients pre-diagnosed with tuberculosis in Konya, Turkey, were investigated prospectively to compare the GenoType(®) MTBC test (GenoType(®) MTBC) with conventional "gold standard" culture methods.
Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) and Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT)-960 culture methods and GenoType(®) MTBC were performed together.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) detection rates were 16.2% by culture methods, 15.4% by GenoType(®) MTBC, and 6% by acid-fast bacilli microscopy. The LJ or MGIT-960 with GenoType(®) MTBC detected M. tuberculosis in 12 samples each that were negative according to the other culture method alone. Among 70 M. tuberculosis-positive samples, detection rates were 37% (26/70) by microscopy and 82.8% (58/70) by LJ and MGIT-960, but 95.7% (67/70) by GenoType(®) MTBC.
GenoType(®) MTBC may be used as a beneficial adjunct test to culture methods for the detection of M. tuberculosis.
前瞻性研究了来自土耳其科尼亚的 433 名预先诊断为结核病的患者的临床样本,以比较 GenoType(®) MTBC 检测(GenoType(®) MTBC)与传统的“金标准”培养方法。
同时进行 Lowenstein Jensen(LJ)和分枝杆菌生长指示剂管(MGIT)-960 培养方法和 GenoType(®) MTBC。
培养方法的结核分枝杆菌(M. tuberculosis)检出率为 16.2%,GenoType(®) MTBC 为 15.4%,抗酸杆菌镜检为 6%。LJ 或 MGIT-960 与 GenoType(®) MTBC 共同检测到 12 份单独用其他培养方法检测为阴性的 M. tuberculosis 。在 70 份 M. tuberculosis 阳性样本中,显微镜检测率为 37%(26/70),LJ 和 MGIT-960 检测率为 82.8%(58/70),但 GenoType(®) MTBC 检测率为 95.7%(67/70)。
GenoType(®) MTBC 可作为培养方法检测 M. tuberculosis 的有益辅助检测方法。
