Biochemical Tests And Molecular Methods In Ntm Species Identification

Abstract

In general, NTM has aided in focused treatment and illness management by fast separation and species-level distinction utilising genetic methods. The purpose of this research is to learn how common NTM species are in TB patients (both pulmonary and extrapulmonary) in a tertiary care hospital in Pondicherry, to compare several phenotypic and genotypic approaches to NTM identification, and to find out what patterns their DSTs show.
