“…Of concern, is the contamination rate of MGIT observed in this study, as it is more than the generally accepted 2-5% for LJ culture and it is an outlier when compared with studies that utilized MGIT culture versus techniques like BACTEC 460, LJ and Ogawa; contamination rate from these studies vary from 1.2% to 20.1%. The studies concluded that contamination with rich MGIT medium is more common when compared with other culture media [24][25][26][27][28]. This contamination rate could have contributed to the reduced specificity and it is a disadvantage of the MGIT system.…”

“…The mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT; Becton Dickinson Microbiology Systems), developed relatively recently, is a liquid culture medium that develops an orange fluorescence in the presence of growing mycobacteria. [6][7][8][9][10][11] It appears to have a sensitivity equal to or better than that of solid media (especially in smear-negative cases of tuberculosis), requires less time for growth, and has lower costs than radiometric methods. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Middlebrook 7H9 is cheaper than MGIT, and has previously been successfully tested.…”

“…11 The MGIT 960 system was used for the cultivation of M. avium, and the AMPLICOR Mycobacterium Avium system (Roche Diagnostic Systems, Inc, NJ, USA) was used for M. avium PCR. 12 The HBsAg positive, e antigen positive blood was ob tained from one volunteer. The blood (200 mL) was diluted with 800 mL of saline and 50 mL was aspirated from the tip of the endoscope through a suction channel.…”
