afb-color modified
(set/kit) modificat pentru testarea BAAR


Explanation:
We are talking about the modified kit (test) of the classical AFB- color staining. I believe the term "modified" refers to the test itself, by changing conditions and temperature, it looks like this new "modified" test wouldn't need certain things, like heating...so it's more convenient.
I would also translate the AFB term in Romanian, as "BAAR", please see the references.

“What are acid-fast bacillus (AFB) tests? Acid-fast bacillus (AFB) is a type of bacteria that causes tuberculosis and certain other infections. Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is a serious bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs. It can also affect other parts of the body, including the brain, spine, and kidneys. TB is spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing.”

“Based on the type of bacteria found in the culture, there are two types of results from this test. The results are either an acid-fast stain, or a PARTIAL OR MODIFIED acid-fast stain. The type of results depends on the bacteria being tested.

„This “Tb-color staining kit - for the microscopic investigation of mycobacteria (COLD STAINING)” is used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serves the purpose of the bacteriological and histological investigation of sample material of human origin”
„The Tb-color staining set is based on the Ziehl-Neelsen staining method for the detection of Mycobacteria. The SET IS MODIFIED such, that heating of the carbolfuchsin solution is dispensable. Consequently, the release of hazardous phenolic vapors will be avoided.”

“A new rapid Immunochromatographic test (ICT) kit (SDBioline TB Ag MPT64RAPID®) developed by Standard Diagnostics, South Korea was evaluated for rapid differentiation of M. tuberculosis from non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). It detects MPT 64 antigen in M. tuberculosis isolates using mouse monoclonal MPT 64 antibody. The kit was assessed for routine identification of the Acid Fast Bacilli(AFB) isolated in our laboratory.”

“BAAR Bacili acid-alcool-rezistenţi”

„Transmiterea se face pe cale aeriană, sursa de infecție fiind reprezentată de o persoană cu tuberculoză pulmonară; gradul de contagiozitate este însă determinat de densitatea BACILILOR ACID-ALCOOL REZISTENȚI în spută și de frecvența tusei”

“Principiul metodei: Conținutul bogat în acizi micolici din structura peretelui micobacterian face ca aceste bacterii să fixeze la cald compușii de anilină (fuchsina), sau substanţe fluorescente - fără încălzire (auramina, auramina-rhodamina) colorantul rezistând la decolorarea cu alcool acidulat, de aici și denumirea de bacili acido-alcoolo-rezistenți (BAAR)”

Asker: Multumesc! Textul meu este despre bacterii rezistente la acizi/acido-rezistente -acid fast bacteria. Presupun ca e tot in directia aia e, mai citesc.
