Objectlve To evaluate the clinical value of the detection of Myeobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)and its L-forms(MTB-L)in pefipheral blood.Methods MTB and MTB-L in blood samples of 156 patients with tuberculosis and 147 patients with lung cancer were detected by hemolysis centrifugal drop Intensified Kinyoun's acid fast staining (IK) and hemolysis centrifugal culture with 42 healthy persons as controls.MTB DNA was detected by TaqMan-PCR technique in plasma mononuclear cells and whole blood from aforementioned groups.Results Among each groups detected by IK.the MTB positive rate was 1.3%(2/156),0.7%(1/147),and 0%(0/42)respectively.The positive rate of culture was 0.6%(1/156),0%(0/147),and 0%(0/42)respectively.MTB-L positive rate detected by IK was 41.0%(64/156),32.7%(48/147)and 7.2%(3/42).MTB-L positive rate detected by culture was 25.6%(40/156)and 39.5%(58/147).0%(0/42).MTB positive rate were significantly different from the MTB-L positive rate (P＜0.01).Among the 98 strains L-forms,81 strains were from human,17 strains were from bovis,and 44 strains were back to the ancestors.The positive rate of mononuclear ceHs and whole blood obtained from the tuberculosis group detected by TaqMan-PCR were 77.6%(121/156) and 68.6%(107/156)(P＜0.05).The positive rate of mononuclear cells and whole blood from lung cancer group were 59.2%(87/147)and 48.3%(52/147)(P＜0.05),which were higher than the plasma positive rate 12.2%(18/147)(P＜0.05).The result of individual bloed constituents (except for plasma) from two groups were significantly different from the control(P＜0.01).Conclusions MTB-L was found in the peripheral blood of the tuberculosis and lung cancer patients.Hemolysis centrifugal culture is a rapid,simple and reliable method for detecting MTB-L TaqMan-PCR showed the positive rate of MTB DNA in plasma and whole blood samples were significantly higher than that in the plasma.

Objective To explore the characteristics of mycobacterium dependend antituberculous drug. Methods 137 strains of mycobacterium were tested for resistance by the absolute concentration method on Lowenstein Jensen medium. Dependent positive were the coloun that on higher concentration drug medium stronger than lower concentration than controls. Results 12(8.76%) of the 130 strains M. tuberculosis and 7 strains nontuberculous mycuberculous (NTM) were found dependent, in which strains dependend on INH, RFP and SM were 3(2.19%), 10(7.3%) and 3(2.19%) respectively, 4(2.92%) were dependend on two drugs. Conclusions Were NTM dependent, Not found all detected from multiple strains.
