We report the applicability of testing susceptibility to paranitrobenzoic acid (PNB) directly on clinical samples as a rapid screening assay, to detect M. tuberculosis and differentiate it from non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). One hundred smear positive sputum samples from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis attending the Department of Respiratory Medicine at VP Chest Institute, Delhi, were...
