Abstract
A comparative study between commercially available mycobacteria growth indicator tubes (MGIT) in the BACTEC MGIT 960 System and the conventional Ogawa media was carried out to assess the effectiveness of the re-decontaminating process for the recovery of mycobacteria. Processed specimens with 5% sodium hydroxide and 0.5% N-acetyl-L-cysteine were inoculated into MGIT and Ogawa media. The acid fast bacilli (AFB) recovered from the cultures were identified using a mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) antigen kit. If contaminants were observed in the MGIT tubes within five days, a decontaminating process was repeated. A total of 1,190 out of 4,790 (24.8%) specimens showed positive results using the BACTEC MGIT 960 system. Among them, 278 specimens were reprocessed. When the MGIT and Ogawa results were compared, it showed discordant results (weighted kappa value: 0.283). One TB and 10 nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) were newly detected in MGIT only. The likely benefit of the re-decontaminating process is the detection of additional mycobacteria that could not be detected without a re-decontaminating process despite being small in number. In addition to the combination of MGIT and Ogawa, the re-decontaminating process is recommended in the case of contaminations to recover mycobacteria.
