摘要
The ESP Culture System II was evaluated for its capacity to test the susceptibility of 389 cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to streptomycin, rifampin, ethambutol, and isoniazid. Good agreement,vith results with the BACTEC TB 460 was found. ESP II is a reliable, rapid, and automated method for performing susceptibility testing.
