Abstract

To learn and understand the epidemiological and diagnostic tools for Mycobacterium other than tubercle bacilli (MOTT). There are several reports of isolation of MOTT from different types of clinical specimens in India. The media usually recommended for the sensitivity screening of M. tuberculosis are used for NTM also. Other media like chocolate Agar/supplemented with ferric ammonium salts/mycobactins, etc. will be needed for the sensitivity screening of fastidious species. Newer techniques like BACTEC and E-Test have been also found to be quite useful for sensitivity determination of rapid as well as slow growing NTM.
