We evaluated the performance of BACTEC MGIT 960 for automated testing of the susceptibility of 133 strains of M. tuberculosis to streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampin and ethambutol. The BACTEC MGIT 960 results were compared with those obtained with the radiometric BACTEC 460TB system, and when there was disagreement, the method of proportion on agar plates was used as a reference method.
