title: Detection of drug susceptibility in rapidly growing mycobacteria by resazurin broth microdilution assay.
abstract: The susceptibility of rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) to linezolid and ciprofloxacin was evaluated by using resazurin as a growth indicator. The assay with resazurin supplemented medium performed as well as its addition to the medium at reading time and was efficient for the determination for the susceptibility profile in RGM.
