Abstract

Mycobacterium sp. recovery and time to detection were compared in the MGIT 960 and BacT/ALERT MB automated broth culture systems. The MGIT 960 demonstrated shorter time to detection (13.5 versus 25.2 days) and greater sensitivity (100% versus 66.6%) for recovery of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex than the BacT/ALERT MB system.
