Abstract
The usefulness of a low-tech rapid test for culture confirmation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Capilia TB, was tested on 172 mycobacteria-positive clinical samples. The overall sensitivity and specificity were 92.4% and 100%, respectively. In three of nine false-negative isolates a mutation in the mpb64 gene could be detected.Entities:
