초록

본 연구에서는 객담 내 결핵균의 배양시험과 약제 감수성 시험 방법으로서 BacT/Alert 액체 배지, Ogawa 배지 및 $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen 배지 배양법을 비교하였다. 신속 액체배양시스템은 기존의 Egg-based media (Ogawa, $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen 배지)에 비해 높은 민감도와 빠른 배양으로 결핵환자의 초기 객담 검사와 약제 감수성 시험에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 객담은 N-Acetyl-L-cystine과 4% NaOH로 처리한 후 BacT/Alert 액체 배지 시스템과 Ogawa 배지에 접종하고 배양하여 비교하였다. 결핵환자 객담 검체 135개 중 도말검사결과 양성은 95개였고, Ogawa 배지 배양결과 양성으로 확인된 수는 89개(65.9%)였으며, BacT/Alert 액체 배지에서는 97개(71.9%)가 양성으로 확인되었다. 결핵균 배양 양성 검체의 평균배양일은 Ogawa 배지에서 22.4일, BacT/Alert 액체 배지는 11.3일로 단축되는 것을 확인하였다. 약제 감수성 시험에는 32개 결핵균주를 이용하였으며, isoniazid를 첨가한 BacT/Alert 액체 배지와 $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen 배지에서의 약제 감수성 시험 검사결과 일치률은 87.5%를 보였고, rifampicin에서의 일치률은 90.6%로 나타났다.

In this study, we compared the BacT/Alert liquid culture system with Ogawa and $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen (L-J) media for sputum culture and drug susceptibility test (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rapid liquid culture systems have been widely employed both for primary cultures of M. tuberculosis from clinical specimens and for drug susceptibility test because of its greater sensitivity and faster turn-around time than the conventional egg-based culture methods (Ogawa, $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen media). Sputum specimens were decontaminated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC)-4% NaOH and inoculated into the BacT/Alert culture bottles and Ogawa media. 95 from among 135 sputa were smear-positive, 97 (71.9%) were culture-positive by the BacT/Alert culture system, while 89 (65.9%) were positive by Ogawa media. The mean time to culture-positive by the BacT/Alert process system was about 11.3 days, which was significantly shorter than that by Ogawa media (22.4 days). Of 32 M. tuberculosis cultures examined for drug sensitivity, the concordant rate between the two methods (BacT/ Alert liquid culture system, $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen media) ranged from 87.5% for isoniazid and 90.6% for rifampicin.
