Growth of Mycobacteria in Urine Determined by Isothermal Microcalorimetry: Implications for Urogenital Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Infections
Urology, 07/16/2012
Bonkat G et al. – Isothermal microcalorimetry allows rapid and accurate detection of mycobacterial growth in urine. Given the absence of data on the mycobacterial growth in urine, isothermal microcalorimetry could be used to unravel key aspects of Mycobacterium physiology in the urinary tract and potentially contribute to improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of urogenital tuberculosis.
