Detection and Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Directly from Sputum Sediments by Ligase Chain Reaction

Sputum specimens received for the diagnosis of tuberculosis or other mycobacterial infections were tested by a ligase chain reaction (LCR)-based assay and acid-fast stain and culture techniques. Results from the LCR assay (Abbott LCx Mycobacterium tuberculosis [MTB] Assay) were compared to results f...
