Evaluation of a novel rapidly-growing mycobacteria medium for isolation of Mycobacterium abscessus complex from respiratory specimens from patients with bronchiectasis
This single center study assessed the performance of a novel solid rapidly-growing mycobacteria (RGM) medium for the recovery of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium abscessus complex, in patients with underlying bronchiectasis. A total of 297 mycobacterial sputa from 116 pati...
