Mycobacteriology and Aerobic ActinomycetesPerformance of RGM Medium for Isolation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Respiratory Specimens from Non-Cystic Fibrosis PatientsA new selective medium for rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM medium) was evaluated on respiratory specimens from non-cystic fibrosis patients and compared to the mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) system and Middlebrook 7H11 agar for the isolation of all nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). A total of 203 mucolyzed respiratory specimens collected from 163 patients were inoculated on RGM medium and incubated at both 30°C (RGM30)...
