Study on a rapid fluorometric method for culture、drug susceptibility testing and identification of group in Mycobacterium tuberculosis / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To set up a method of rapid culture,drug susceptibility testing and identification for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.Methods Using the method by ourselves made and examined the standard strains and clinical strains of mycobacterium,research to the culture, the drug susceptibility testing and the identification of group in mycobacterium by this method compared with the method of Lowenstein-Jensen (L-J) method. To make sure the characteristic identification of group in mycobacterium.Results Detection time of culture of this method was 19.13 d earlier than that of L-J method. The positive rate of the method was higher than that of the L-J method. The applied concentration of each drug was INH0.1 ?g/ml, RFP1 ?g/ml, EB2 ?g/ml, AMK2 ?g/ml、LVFX2 ?g/ml、PNB 200 ?g/ml、TCH 2.5 ?g/ml respectively. The report time of the method was 7～10 d. It was 18～21 d shorter than that of the L-J method (28 days).Conclusion The method shortened significantly the report time of culture、drug susceptibility testing and identification of group in mycobacterium. The rate of positive was raised.This method was economic, practical and suitable to expansion and application in the substrata units.
