Abstract
The reliability of the BacT/Alert 3D unit for automated detection of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that grow optimally at 30 °C was assessed. This system reliably maintained a temperature of 30 °C and detected 50% of the clinical NTM strains (5 Mycobacterium marinum and 3 Mycobacterium gordonae strains) faster than 37 °C culture.Entities:
