ABSTRACT
A previously proposed MGIT protocol was assessed focussing on its reliability to test the mainstay antituberculous drugs. Isoniazid (H) (0.1 mg/l) and rifampin (R) (1 mg/l) were assayed against 109 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates affecting patients at high risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. All isolates were simultaneously tested on L÷wenstein-Jensen medium by the proportion method considered the gold standard. MGIT readings were accomplished within 2 and 22 days after inoculation, at day 10, 93.4
