Bacteriophage typing was performed on 235 Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures submitted from 31 laboratories. In each instance, either the attending physician questioned the misdiagnosis of tuberculosis or the laboratory supervisor suspected that laboratory cross-contamination had occurred. Phage typing data confirmed these suspicions. Phage typing is a useful adjunct in the investigation of suspected cross-contamination of laboratory cultures of M. tuberculosis.
对来自31个实验室的235株结核分枝杆菌培养物进行了噬菌体分型。在每一个案例中，要么主治医生对结核病的误诊提出质疑，要么实验室主管怀疑发生了实验室交叉污染。噬菌体分型数据证实了这些怀疑。噬菌体分型在调查疑似结核分枝杆菌实验室培养物交叉污染方面是一种有用的辅助手段。
