The LCx Mycobacterium tuberculosis ligase chain reaction system (Abbott Diagnostic Division, Abbott Park, Ill.) was used to detect M. tuberculosis in 150 consecutive BACTEC vials on the day on which a positive growth index (GI) was recorded. By LCx, M. tuberculosis DNA was detected in BACTEC vials on average 2.6 days before the presence of acid-fast bacilli could be confirmed by microscopic examination. A total of 106 of 108 M. tuberculosis isolates were detected without centrifugation from bottles presenting very low GIs (average, 70; median, 33). No false-positive result was obtained from nontuberculous mycobacteria or from isolates with contaminants.
采用LCx结核分枝杆菌连接酶链反应系统(雅培诊断部,伊利诺伊州雅培公园),在记录到阳性生长指数(GI)当天,对连续150个BACTEC培养瓶中的结核分枝杆菌进行检测。通过LCx检测,在通过显微镜检查确认存在抗酸杆菌之前,平均提前2.6天在BACTEC培养瓶中检测到结核分枝杆菌DNA。在呈现极低生长指数(平均70;中位数33)的培养瓶中,108株结核分枝杆菌分离株中有106株未经过离心即被检测到。非结核分枝杆菌或有污染物的分离株未获得假阳性结果。
