  • Title: [Identification of Mycobacteria species by liquid-gas chromatography].
    Author: Pinchuk LM, Lazovskaia AL, Rachkova OF.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1990; (3):36-41. PubMed ID: 2367506.
    Abstract:
    Principles and characteristic features of gas chromatographic indentification of Mycobacterium from the fatty acid composition were considered. The results of their differentiation by gas chromatography agree with Myco. indentification according to the complex of morphological, cultural and biochemical, and other characteristics. Copyrolysis has a number of advantages compared to the routine identification techniques, i.e. it reduces the time needed for the analysis down to 2-3 hours; allows one to use small portions of microbial mass; and provides for a complete automation of the procedure. The advisability of putting the gas chromatographic identification of Myco. species into practice of the antituberculosis medical and veterinary institutions is pointed out.
