Abstract

Abstract:

Recently human infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing. NTM diseases are mainly diagnosed by laboratory bacteriological assays. As a result of an increasing emphasis on the importance of differential identification of NTM species, several molecular tools have recently been introduced in clinical settings. In this paper, we summarized frequently used molecular diagnostics for identification and differentiation of NTM species and their relevant strengths and weaknesses to facilitate the choice of related assays.

Key words: Mycobacteria, atypical, Molecular diagnostic techniques, Species identification
