  • Title: Usefulness of the GenoType MTBC assay for differentiating species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in cultures obtained from clinical specimens.
    Author: Richter E, Weizenegger M, Fahr AM, Rüsch-Gerdes S.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2004 Sep; 42(9):4303-6. PubMed ID: 15365028.
    Abstract:
    A novel DNA strip assay, GenoType MTBC, was evaluated for differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species from 77 positive liquid cultures in clinical practice. Species identification (M. tuberculosis [71 strains], Mycobacterium bovis subsp. bovis [5 strains], and Mycobacterium africanum subtype I [1 strain]) results were identical to conventional results. The sensitivity was slightly higher for this test than for the AccuProbe assay.
