Identification of mycobacteria based on spectroscopic analyses of mycolic acid profiles
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
This report examines lipophilic extracts containing mycolic acids isolated from tuberculosis (MTB) and non-tuberculosis (NTM) mycobacterial strains using chromatography, mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. Gas chromatography-MS was used to identify major fatty acid mycolate components, while proton NMR confirmed the presence of characteristic cis- and...
