BACTEC MGIT 960 system의 mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) 오염 제거과정의 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 기존 3% Ogawa media와 마이코박테리아의 배양 양상을 비교하였다. 검체는 5% sodium hydroxide (NaOH)과 0.5% N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC)를 처리하여 MGIT와 Ogawa media에 접종하였다. 배양된 마이코박테리아는 결핵균(mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB) 항원 kit로 동정하였다. 만약 MGIT에서 5일 이내에 오염균 배양되면 오염제거 과정을 반복하였다. BACTEC MGIT 960 system에 장착한 MGIT 4,790건 중 1,190건(24.8%)이 배양 양성의 결과를 보였고 이중 278건을 재처리 하였다. MGIT와 Ogawa media 사이의 결과를 비교하였을 때 불일치 결과(weighted kappa value: 0.283)를 보였고, 특히 TB 1건과 nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) 10건이 재처리한 MGIT에서만 배양되었다. 비록 소수이지만 재처리 과정으로 검출할 수 없었던 마이코박테리아를 검출하였다. 이는 마이코박테리아 검출을 위하여 MGIT와 Ogawa media을 동시에 시행할 뿐 아니라 MGIT에서 위양성을 보이는 경우, 검체의 재처리 과정을 추가하는 것이 필요하다 생각된다.

We assessed the capacity of two liquid-medium culture methods with automated incubation and reading systems (MB/BacT ALERT 3D System and BACTEC MGIT 960 System) and one solid-medium culture method ($L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen) to detect mycobacteria in different types of clinical samples. Out of 1,770 cultured clinical samples (1,519 of respiratory origin and 251 of non respiratory origin), mycobacteria were isolated in 156 samples (135 M. tuberculosis complex, 8 M. chelonae, 6 M. kansasii, 4 M. fortuitum, 2 M. gordonae, and 1 M. marinum) by at least one of the methods used. The BACTEC MGIT 960 System proved to be the most sensitive method (86.5%), especially in the detection of M. tuberculosis complex (89.1%). However, $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen culture was the most sensitive (76.2%) to detect nontuberculous mycobacteria. The BACTEC MGIT 960 System showed the lowest mean detection time for mycobacterial growth (15.3 days), significantly shorter than the other two methods. Highest sensitivity (95.5%) and specificity (99.6%) values were obtained using the BACTEC MGIT 960 System with the $L\ddot{o}wenstein$-Jensen culture method, which was also the only combination capable of detecting 100% of the nontuberculous mycobacteria.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the BACTEC MGIT (Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube) 960 system for mycobacteria culture and immunochromatographic assay to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in positive MGIT culture. Methods: Mycobacteria-culture-positive cases were retrospectively analyzed from December 2010 to July 2011. The detection rates and the recovery times of the mycobacteria between the Ogawa media and the MGIT were compared. An immunochromatographic assay (ICA) (SD BIO-LINE) was also performed in the positive MGIT culture for identification, and the results were compared with those of the Ogawa media in the Korea National Tuberculosis Association. Results: Among the 261 patients (M:F, 168:93; mean age, $61.6{\pm}17.16$ yrs), 450 specimens (sputa, 365; bronchial washing, 61; and pleural effusion, 24) were found positive with mycobacteria. Mycobacteria were grown both on the MGIT and Ogawa media in 310 cases (68.9%); only on the MGIT in 115 cases (22.6%); and only on the Ogawa media in 25 cases (5.5%) (p<0.05). The recovery time was $28.2{\pm}8.9$ days in the Ogawa media and $11.1{\pm}5.8$ days in the MGIT (p<0.05). Among the 127 cases from the positive MGIT culture, all 92 cases that were confirmed as MTB cases bythe Korea National Tuberculosis Association were identified as MTB by ICA, with 100% sensitivity. Conclusion: MGIT increases the detection rate and shortens the recovery time of mycobacteria in clinical respiratory specimens, and the TB Ag MPT64 kit using ICA is useful in identifying MTB in a positive MGIT culture.

Background: Mycobacterial infection is a problem throughout the world along with the increase of immunocompromised patients. For this reason, there have been many methods for faster and more accurate diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated several laboratory methods for mycobacterial infection. Methods: From January to December 2009, 635 specimens were cultured with mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) and Ogawa media. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with the AdvanSure tuberculosis (TB)/non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) real-time PCR Kit (LG Life Sciences, Seoul, Korea). The 69 samples showing positive culture results were identified with the AdvanSure Mycobacteria Genotyping Chip Kit (LG Life Science, Seoul, Korea). Results: Sixty-nine (10.9%) out of 635 samples showed positive results for mycobacterial culture. Among the 635 samples, 64 were positive in MGIT, but only 42 were positive in Ogawa media. Of the 635 samples, 607 (95.6%) showed the same results between MGIT and Ogawa and the results of 579 (95.4%) were also consistent with the TB/NTM real-time PCR results. However, in the case of NTM, only one (1/24, 4.2%) was positive in PCR. In the Mycobacteria genotyping chip analysis, the most frequently identified NTM species in descending order were M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. chelonae and M. abscessus. Conclusion: Culturing with a combination of MGIT and Ogawa is recommended to increase the recovery rate of mycobacteria. Although PCR missed a reasonable number of NTM, it is faster and usually gives results that concur with those from the culture. The appropriate combination of diagnostic methods with clinical correlation are necessary.
