Abstrakt: ABSTRACTMycobacterium celatumtype 1 was found to cross-react in the AccuProbe Mycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex assay. Subsequently, we found a statistically significant increase in the relative light units with lower temperatures, suggesting that it is necessary to perform this AccuProbe assay at between 60 and 61°C. We also recommend the inclusion of M. celatumtype 1 as a negative control.
