چکیده انگلیسی
Results from clinical diagnostic microbiology laboratories taking part in the UK National Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) scheme for Mycobacteria Culture between 1993 and 2003 were evaluated and assessed to determine whether the perceived increase in the use of rapid methods is improving time-to-positive reporting of results. Four simulated sputum specimens containing mycobacteria in mixed cultures with normal commensal organisms were distributed three times a year. Participating laboratories were required to report on the presence of 'mycobacteria' and on the time required to obtain a positive result. The overall level of performance with the mycobacteria culture external quality assessment specimens remained consistently high, with an average success rate of 94% over 10 years. The mean time-to-positive decreased from 24 to 17 days during the previous 8 years. A survey questionnaire, circulated in 2002, addressed the use of continuous automated mycobacterial liquid culture (CAMLiC) and molecular methods. The increase in the use of rapid culture methods for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has resulted in an overall reduction in time-to-positive data reported by participants, and has provided an indication of participants' ability to meet the 21-day target recommended by the CDC for the detection and identification of M. tuberculosis.
