Abstract:

Objective  To compare with Roche solid culture method, and to evaluate the feasibility of adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay for detecting multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods  By Roche solid culture method and adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay, 149 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuber-culosis were determined and analyzed. Results  The coincidence rate of adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay with Roche solid culture method was 92.6% (138/149), and the difference had no statistical significance (χ2=0.57, P=0.45). The detection time of adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay was (6.6±2.1) d, which was faster than that of Roche solid culture method (28 d, t=422.7, P<0.001). Conclusions  Compared with the conventional detection methods, adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay is simple, rapid and accurate. It is helpful for detecting multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients and controlling the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is suitable for clinical laboratory.
