For many years, it has been thought that a positive culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a definitive diagnostic evidence of tuberculosis (TB). However, the recent use of molecular tools have resulted in increased recognition of crosscontamination events linked, most of the times, to laboratory procedures. Features of cross-contamination include: culture results not consistent with the clinical course of the patient, isolates with unexpected drug resistance, single culture-positive specimen and low colony count on solid medium. Nonetheless, true-positive cultures of specimens from some groups of patients (with preliminary active pulmonary tuberculosis, HIV infection, or under treatment) can also have some of the characteristics outlined...
