Dried culture spots (DCS) of inactivated Mycobacteria strains designed as part of an external quality assessment (EQA) program for the GeneXpert system has applications to other molecular tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic platforms. DCS tested on the GenoType MTBDRplus and Mycobacterium CM assays performed well with MTBDRplus version 2 but require increased bacterial concentration for use with version 1.
作为GeneXpert系统外部质量评估(EQA)计划一部分设计的灭活分枝杆菌菌株的干培养斑点(DCS),可应用于其他分子结核病(TB)诊断平台。在GenoType MTBDRplus和分枝杆菌CM检测中测试的DCS,在MTBDRplus版本2上表现良好,但与版本1一起使用时需要增加细菌浓度。
