Detection and identification of Mycobacterium species, Nocardia species, and other aerobic actinomycetes
Identification is performed using the Hologic/GenProbe AccuProbes for selected Mycobacterium species, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, or 500-base pair 16S rRNA gene sequencing
M tuberculosis complex species identification can be done upon request using rapid PCR targeting the regions of difference (RD) genomic areas
