Abstract
We report on a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a deletion in the protein antigen B gene overlapping the probe binding sites for the Abbott Diagnostics LCx M. tuberculosis (LCx-MTB) probe assay. A false-negative result with the LCx-MTB assay delayed a laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis.Entities:
