Abstract
Summary A combination of radiometric broth culture (Bactec 13A) and the Genprobe nucleic acid hybridisation system was used to detect and identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium from the blood of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
