OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to find an accurate and fast method to diagnose the pathogen of bronchiectasis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ten bronchiectasic patients diagnosed with Mucoid Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (MPA) in the past two years were analyzed. Accuracy and time were compared between microbiology rapid on-site evaluation (M-ROSE) and sputum bacterial culture.

RESULTS: The accuracy rate of M-ROSE in the patients is 100% consistent with bacterial culture results. The average time of M-ROSE is about 4.3 min, which is over 1000 times shorter than that of sputum bacterial culture.

CONCLUSIONS: M-ROSE may be a better method for etiological diagnosis of MPA.
