Abstract
Mycobacterium genavense, a fastidious opportunist in patients with AID S, cannot be identified by conventional biochemical methods. Computeri zed mycolic acid analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography of fers an alternative that distinguishes the mycolic acid profile of M. genavense from those of all other organisms in the database developed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
