[The use of UIT-A culture medium to produce a biomass for mycobacterial biochemical identification].
The UIT-A solid culture medium is compared with the Lowenstein Jensen, in order to obtain biomass in mounting the "non-tuberculous" mycobacteria biochemical identification test (MNT) with the idea of considering the possibility of using it as a culture medium for mounting and analysing such biochemical tests. Results achieved in both culture media were equal, and that is why the use of UIT-A culture medium is mainly recommended for those strains with a poor or scarce growth.
