Direct identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium, and Mycobacterium intracellulare from amplified primary cultures in BACTEC media using DNA probes.

Abstract：

:DNA probes (Gen-Probe, San Diego, Calif.) directed at the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare complex were used to identify acid-fast bacilli directly from specimens grown in BACTEC 12B bottles (Becton Dickinson and Co., Towson, Md.). Clinical specimens were inoculated directly or after decontamination into a BACTEC 12B bottle, Middlebrook 7H11 agar, and Lowenstein-Jensen medium. Conventional media were incubated at 37 degrees C in 5% CO2 and examined weekly for 6 weeks. Identification of isolates grown on conventional media by standard biochemicals, morphology, and growth characteristics served as the reference method for identification. BACTEC bottles were incubated at 37 degrees C, and a growth index was taken twice a week. When a growth index of greater than or equal to 100 was reached, 1 ml of BACTEC 12B medium was put into each of three microfuge tubes which were centrifuged for 15 min at 15,000 x g. Pellets were used in hybridization reactions with an M. tuberculosis complex probe, an M. avium probe, and an M. intracellulare probe. The results of the hybridizations of the three probes with the same sample were compared, and the highest percent hybridization was divided by the average of the lower hybridization values. If this value, the derived patient ratio (DPR), was greater than or equal to 3, then the specimen was considered positive for the organism giving the highest percent hybridization. Of the 1,988 specimens cultured, the results of conventional tests for the 190 conventional culture-positive specimens were 64 M. tuberculosis, 61 M. avium, 14 M. intracellulare, 30 other Mycobacterium spp., and 25 non-acid-fast bacilli. There were four cultures that each contained two different Mycobacterium spp. Directly probing the BACTEC 12B sediment, at DPR of >/= 3 the M. tuberculosis probe identified 83% (53 of 64) of M. tuberculosis isolates, the M. avium probe identified 92% (56 of 61) M. avium isolates, and the M. intracellulare probe identified 86% (12 of 14) of M. intracellulare isolates. There were no false-positive results at this DPR level. The false-negative results from probing the sediment from the BACTEC 12B bottle could not solely be attributed to the number of organisms present, the growth index, or antimicrobial therapy.
