Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Existing in Tap Water by PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism

1 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents the finding of the possible cause of the high false-positive rate in acid-fast staining in histological examinations. Using acid-fast staining, culture, and PCR, acid-fast bacilli were detected in 83.7% of 49 hospital tap water samples and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) were detected in 20.4% of the same 49 samples. The 10 NTM isolates were also identified to the species level using...
