BACTEC (R)
One of the most often used radiometric methods for detecting the early growth of mycobacteria in culture. It provides rapid growth (in 7-14 days) and rapid drug-susceptibility testing (in 5-6 days). When BACTEC (R) is used with rapid species identification methods, M. tuber- culosis can be identified within 10-14 days of specimen collection.
