Evaluation of p-nitrobenzoic acid using Lowenstein–Jensen medium and rapid immunochromatographic test for early differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non-tuberculous mycobacteria
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium africanum, Mycobacterium canetti, and Mycobacterium microti are all members of the MTB complex [MTBC], which cause tuberculosis. Mycobacteria other than TB also known as non-tuberculous mycobacteria [NTM]. Aims and O...
