Abstract: Purpose. Differentiation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBc) from non‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is important for tuberculosis diagnosis and is a prerequisite for reliable phenotypic drug‐resistance testing. We evaluated the performance of the rapid MPT64 antigen… read more here.
