  • Title: A simple and rapid method for the detection and identification of mycobacteria using mycobactin.
    Author: Barclay R, Furst V, Smith I.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 1992 Oct; 37(4):286-90. PubMed ID: 1404329.
    Abstract:
    A system was developed for the identification of mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium, by thin layer chromatography of 55Fe-labelled mycobactin. Approximately 2 x 10(3) mycobacteria were detected within 24 h and little operator time or skill was required. M. avium, M. intracellulare and M. scrofulaceum were found to have lower requirements for iron than other mycobacteria and this may influence their growth in host organisms.
