| Usage: | This assay is specifically designed to detect medically relevant atypical Mycobacterium along with their species to help in deciding the therapy as prescribed by American thoracic society guidelines for Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium. There are over 170 recognized species of mycobacteria that are identified with the help of MALDITOF. Many of these species are human pathogens and therefore, identification to the species level is important to help guide the patient. NTM are broadly divided into two types – Rapid growers & Slow growers. | ||||||
