title: Hydroxylamine sensitivity and salt tolerance in screening and identifying mycobacteria.
abstract: Hydroxylamine sensitivity offered no advantage over p-nitrobenzoic acid in distinguishing between tubercle bacilli and other (opportunist and non-significant) mycobacteria. It was of limited use in identification procedures. Salt tolerance assisted in the identification of strains which may be Mycobacterium triviale and M. chelonei var borstelense.
