MGIT Culture Reading Schedule
Learning ObjectivesHighlight reading schedule for growth in MGIT
-
In automated systems, tubes are read continuously and flagged when positive. Performing acid-fast bacteria (AFB) smear with Zeihl-Neelsen (ZN) staining determines the next steps.
-
All MGIT-negative tubes at the end of the incubation period should be visually checked for evidence of growth before being discarded.
-
ZN staining should be performed on growth as soon as possible. After staining, culture should be handled according to the results.
