Seventy-six nontuberculous mycobacterial isolates obtained from patients living in Greece were analyzed with the GenoType Mycobacterium CM (for common mycobacteria) and AS (for additional species) assays. GenoType correctly identified all but one of the mycobacterial species. For this species, additional probes should be designed and added to the strip.
