Role of GenoType® Mycobacterium Common Mycobacteria/Additional Species Assay for Rapid Differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex and Different Species of Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) may or may not have same clinical presentations, but the treatment regimens are always different.
