GARBACCIO, Sergio et al. Interlaboratory test: Isolation of Mycobacterium bovis from granulomatous lesions in bovine. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2016, vol.48, n.2, pp.161-165. ISSN 0325-7541. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2016.03.004.
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis. The diagnostic laboratory confirmation is made through bacterial isolation. The aim of interlaboratory tests is to assess the performance of each participant in comparison with other of similar capacities. The test objective was to determine the efficiency of isolation of M. bovis. Four laboratories were part of the test and processed 25 blind tissue samples from granulomatous lesions and with previous M. bovis isolation. The laboratory that had the highest proportion of isolates was A (68%), followed by C (60%) and then B and D (both with 52%). The greatest concordance was observed between B-D and B-C laboratories (68%). The differences could be due to specific factors in each laboratory procedures. This type of interlaboratory tests highlights errors in the bacteriology and identifies critical points in the process to detect M. bovis accurately.
