Misidentification of Mycobacterium smegmatis as Mycobacterium fortuitum by DNA line probe assay

Optimal management of infection with mycobacterial species requires accurate identification down to complex/species level due to variations in outcomes. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advances in laboratory diagnostics with development of newer and rapid molecular methods. He...

Sumario:Optimal management of infection with mycobacterial species requires accurate identification down to complex/species level due to variations in outcomes. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advances in laboratory diagnostics with development of newer and rapid molecular methods. Here we describe a case of Mycobacterium smegmatis that was misidentified as Mycobacterium fortuitum by DNA line probe assay.
