ABSTRACT Isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from the sputum patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is challenging due to overgrowth by rapidly growing species that colonize lungs CF. Extended incubation on Burkholderia cepacia selective agar (BCSA) has been recommended as an expedient culture method for isolation NTM in this setting. The aim study was assess five media designed complex, along two (rapidly [RGM] medium and Middlebrook 7H11 agar), their abilities isolate NTM. All seven...
ABSTRACT A novel selective agar (RGM medium) has been advocated for the isolation of rapidly growing mycobacteria from sputa cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The aim this study was to compare RGM medium Burkholderia cepacia (BCSA) and a standard acid-fast bacillus (AFB) culture method nontuberculous (NTM) patients with CF. applicability matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification NTM isolated on also assessed. Respiratory samples ( n...
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an important cause of pulmonary disease in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A new culture medium (RGM medium) for the isolation rapidly growing from sputum has recently been reported. The aim this study was to compare samples on RGM using a standard automated liquid method. Sputum were obtained 187 distinct CF attending King's College Hospital, London, United Kingdom. Each sample decontaminated 3% oxalic acid and inoculated into mycobacterial growth...
