A simple method to differentiate between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria directly on clinical specimens.
We report the applicability of testing susceptibility to paranitrobenzoic acid (PNB) directly on clinical samples as a rapid screening assay, to detect M. tuberculosis and differentiate it from non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). One hundred smear positive sputum samples from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis attending the Department of Respiratory Medicine at VP Chest Institute, Delhi, were...

متن کاملNon-tuberculous mycobacteria have diverse effects on BCG efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis☆
The efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination in protection against pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is highly variable between populations. One possible explanation for this variability is increased exposure of certain populations to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). This study used a murine model to determine the effect that exposure to NTM after BCG vaccination had on the efficacy ...
متن کاملNon-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis.
Most cases of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children are caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, previously called the atypical mycobacteria. It is important to differentiate non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis from tuberculous lymphadenitis as the treatment is different. We reviewed 19 children (12 girls and seven boys) with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis to define likely...
