[Identification of Mycobacteria and measurement of whole cell fatty acids using a gas chromatography computer system].
The technique of combination gas chromatography with computer used in measuring fatty acids of 28 species standard Mycobacteria was introduced in this study. The data of components of fatty acids in this genus and GC graphs with satisfaction were gained. Several peaks with good reproducibility were distinguished automatically, based on which, M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and other comment atypical Mycobacteria may be separated respectively. It was showed that this method have the characteristics of accurate, sensitive and rapid by means of the identification of clinical strains, also have certain practical value in clinical laboratory.
