This preliminary evaluation examined the reagent OMNIgene®•SPUTUM (OM-S) as a tool to eliminate NaOH/NALC processing prior to Middlebrook liquid culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb). Twenty-seven manually split samples (OM-S-treated vs. NaOH/NALC) showed 100% agreement: 81.5% MTb-positive and 18.5% MTb-negative. On average, OM-S-treated specimens required 1.2 additional days to culture positivity.
这项初步评估将OMNIgene®•SPUTUM(OM-S)试剂作为一种工具,用于在结核分枝杆菌(MTb)的Middlebrook液体培养之前消除NaOH/NALC处理。27个手动分割样本(OM-S处理组与NaOH/NALC处理组)显示出100%的一致性:81.5%为MTb阳性,18.5%为MTb阴性。平均而言,经OM-S处理的标本培养出阳性结果需要多1.2天。
