bacilli.

Fig 8. Schematic diagram for the identification of slowly growing
Mycobacterium spp. Exceptional reactions occur. Organisms should be subjected to
a battery of morphologic and physiologic tests before final identification is made.

species. Exceptional reactions occur. Organisms should be subjected to a battery of
morphologic and physiologic tests before final identification is made. LJ, Löwenstein-Jensen.
