It was reported that during use with bd bbl¿; lowenstein-jensen medium slants 6 tubes were contaminated and growing mycobacterium mucogenicum.Negative control has been incubating and results have not be yet been reported.There was no report of patient impact.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: customer reporting possible contamination with product 220909, lot 0218586.They have seen 6 tubes growing mycobacterium mucogenicum which is much higher than they would normally see.The organisms were id¿d with bruker.Tubes are received refrigerated and stored refrigerated once received.Customer states tubes were inoculated over the course of a few days towards the end of april, beginning of may, and is unsure if the same hood was used when inoculating the tubes each time.Customer states they have a negative control incubating and will check to see if there is any growth and get back with that information.Customer wants to know if there have been any other cases of this type of contamination we are aware of as they are trying to investigate what is going on at their facility.No results have been reported out as customer has set tubes aside because they found the high rate of this organism strange.Customer does not believe they have any remaining tubes of the lot number left to send in for quality investigation but will double check.
