Misidentification of Mycobacterium smegmatis as Mycobacterium fortuitum by DNA line probe assay
Optimal management of infection with mycobacterial species requires accurate identification down to complex/species level due to variations in outcomes. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advances in laboratory diagnostics with development of newer and rapid molecular methods. He...
