Isolation of Mycobacterium chelonei with the lysis-centrifugation blood culture technique

M F Fojtasek et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1982 Aug.

Abstract

Mycobacterium chelonei was isolated from a patient by the lysis-centrifugation and the conventional two-bottle blood culture methods. The lysis-centrifugation method was significantly more sensitive and rapid than the conventional method in detecting and isolating this organism; quantitations done by this method were useful for monitoring response to therapy.
