(MicroMGIT) CULTURE TUBE, 4 ml, manual system

Reserved for TB culture programmes.

Definition

Tube prefilled with mycobacteria growth indicator and additonal 4 ml of Middlebrook 7H9 broth base, used for detection and recovery of mycobacteria from clinical specimens and body fluids (except urine and blood) with MGIT Manual System Method. The tubes are also used for drug susceptibility testing.

MGIT Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube Technique.

At the bottom of the MGIT tube includes a fluorescent compound in silicone, sensitive to the presence of oxygen dissolved in the broth contained in the tube. Initially the high quantity of oxygen present inhibits emission of fluorescence of the compound and only little fluorescence can be observed. Growth of microorganisms will consume the oxygen and fluorescence will be observed using a 365 nm UV light. Growth will also be observed by the presence of turbidity, or small grains, in the tube.

MSF requirements

MGIT Manual System Technique allows rapid recovery of Mycobacteria on liquid medium, shortening of 1-2 weeks the detection time expected with Lowenstein–Jensen egg based solid medium. The system is also used for susceptibility testing.
