title: [Usefulness of redux properties in acid-resistant bacilli for rapid detection of their growth in culture].
abstract: MB REDOX a new system for detection of Mycobacterium is described. It is a modified, serum supplemented Kirchner-medium containing a colourless tetrazolium salt reduced by the redox system used for self-indicating microbial growth. In this study we have tested sensitivity and time of isolation of Mycobacteria in MB REDOX and compared to the other different systems of cultivation.
