ABSTRACT:
A rapid, sensitive method for the detection of M. tuberculosis. A sample suspected of containing M. tuberculosis is extracted, derivatized and analyzed for the presence of two particular characterizing compounds specific to M. tuberculosis. One preferred analytical method involves a fuzzy matching process.
