Culture Referred for Identification, Mycobacterium
Clinical Information: Both Mycobacterium and Nocardia include pathogenic and nonpathogenic
species. Traditional speciation based on growth characteristics and biochemical reaction patterns is
time-consuming and often does not differentiate between closely related species. In this test, nucleic
acid hybridization probes are utilized that identify specific ribosomal RNA sequences of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Mycobacterium avium complex, and Mycobacterium gordonae.
Organisms that are not identified by nucleic acid hybridization probes are further tested and speciated
by nucleic acid sequencing of a 500-base pair region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene.
Useful For: Rapid identification to the species level of Mycobacterium, Nocardia, and other aerobic
actinomycetes from pure cultures
Interpretation: Organisms growing in pure culture are identified to the species level whenever
possible.
