Culture and Sensitivity For Mycobacterium TB - Book Test at Low Cost

It is seen that in fifty percent of the species that develop with the M. tuberculosis complex that were detected within the 14 days, and post studying the different samples., it is seen that 50% were detected within a span of 21 days.

The gold standard method for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is also considered to be the etiological agent of the disease TB, it is still based on the different microbiological culture procedures, which are followed by the species identification along with drug sensitivity testing. The Sputum is considered to be the most commonly obtained clinical specimen from the patients with pulmonary TB.

When an individual sensitivity for the single-sputum specimen is about 30–40%, but then it increases to about +65 to even 75% when the multiple specimens are then futher used ahead.

The Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium is in general the most widely used for the tuberculosis culture. When the LJ medium that contains glycerol is able to favour growth of the M. tuberculosis while even the LJ medium that is present without glycerol but contains pyruvate encourages growth of the M. bovis.

When the specimen is cultured by means of growing the mycobacteria on either solid or the liquid media. The Bacteriologic culture also remains as a gold standard for the laboratory confirmation of the TB disease, with the growing bacteria being required to perform the drug susceptibility testing and the genotyping process.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis is considered to be a slow-growing, the chemo- organotrophic, with non-motile, the non-spore-forming, and the aerobic bacillus. Under the optimal lab conditions present at 37 C, M. the tuberculosis is seen to double every other 24h, taking an approximately 3 weeks to further form the buff-coloured, and the rough colonies on the respective agar plates.
