Dedicated decontamination: A necessity to prevent cross contamination in high throughput mycobacteriology laboratories.

Indian journal of medical microbiology - 1 Jan 2007

Rodrigues C, Almeida D, Shenai S, Goyal N, Mehta A

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Unrecognized cross-contamination has been known to occur in laboratories frequently, especially with sensitive recovery system like BACTEC 460 TB. In March 2001, we investigated a pseudo-outbreak of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in three smear negative clinical specimens and would like to present our experience in this communication. METHODS: All suspected cases were confirmed by checking the...
