A review of the methods of identification and differentiation of mycobacteria

M Tsukamura. Rev Infect Dis. 1981 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Tests reported to be useful for the differentiation of species or groups of mycobacteria are reviewed. Some systems of identification of these organisms are composed of relatively small or large numbers of tests. These systems remain at present "national" identification systems; no "international" system agreed on by scientists worldwide exists. Such an international system is desirable.
