A method for purifying and concentrating Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens: The double-membrane filtration and concentration method (DMFCM)
Background
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that poses a global hazard to public health. Clinically, the small number and low concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) in some specimens make TB difficult to detect in the laboratory and affect the sensitivity of diagnosis.
Methods
M.tb in clinical sputum specimens was purified and concentrated using the double membrane filtration concentration method (DMFCM), which was compared with existing methods and evaluated for application.
Results
DMFCM removes 40–80% of impurities from 80.53% of specimens while concentrating M.tb by up to 3.366 times. In microscopy examination, compared with the direct smear method (DSM), the sensitivity with DMFCM of the test was increased from 58.33% to 73.61%. For quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), the positive rate of the sputum specimens treated with the DMFCM (37/42) was higher than that treated with centrifugation (35/42). In terms of cultures, treatment of sputum specimens with DMFCM reduced the time required to determine a positive result to 75% of the time required compared to the MGIT 960 liquid cultures, and increased the rate of positivity.
Conclusions
The M.tb in the culture solution after DMFCM treatment is purer and more concentrated, which can effectively improve the positive rate of detection.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases aims to provide a forum for clinically relevant articles on all aspects of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, including (but not limited to) epidemiology, clinical investigation, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, drug-resistance and public policy, and encourages the submission of clinical studies, thematic reviews and case reports. Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases is an Open Access publication.
