GenoType mycobacterium assay for identification of mycobacterial species isolated from human clinical samples by using liquid medium.
The GenoType Mycobacterium assay was used to identify 98 mycobacteria isolates by using liquid cultures from positive BACTEC, MGIT, and ESP bottles. This system identifies 16 mycobacteria. There was complete agreement between the GenoType results and the laboratory identifications for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and other Mycobacterium spp. GenoType also identified mixed mycobacterial infections.
