The authors make an analysis of the modalities for the integration of the bacteriological examinations for M. tuberculosis in 3 sanitary units in the city of Jassy. In view of detecting pulmonary tuberculosis, although an improvement was noted in the activity of integration, an intensification is necessary of the culture examination in the present stage of the tuberculous endemia. Also a more close cooperation is necessary between laboratories from sanitary units, and with the central laboratory for cultures of M. tuberculosis. With regard to extra-respiratory tuberculosis the large number of demands for bacteriological examinations from the hospital as well as from the ambulatory units, makes necessary the organization of diagnostic centres by specialities.
