title: [Diagnosis of infections caused by atypical mycobacteria].
abstract: Laboratory methods used for the differentiation of acid resistant rods of the genera Mycobacterium make use of their biological properties, in particular the growth rate on cultivation media, pigment formation, sensitivity for biochemical substances incl. antibiotics, biochemical activity and different relations to animal hosts. By testing these properties it was possible to classify mycobacteria into groups or identify different species in more detail.
