This manual was developed to ensure high quality results and comparability of data from international TB laboratories.
The manual consists of standardised procedures related to sputum collection, handling, analyses, and reporting, with a focus on testing for the greatest impact on microbiology endpoints for MDR-TB clinical trials (sputum culture conversion in liquid and solid media).
The Mycobacteriology Laboratory Manual was launched by Otsuka and the World Health Organization’s Global Laboratory Initiative (GLI) working group of the Stop TB Partnership to serve the TB community in conducting and executing high-quality clinical research.
