Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate the frequency of rapid growing mycobacteria among tuberculosis suspected patients in Basra governorate and study their resistance to drugs. Methods: A total of 150 sputum samples were obtained from 150 suspected patients who attended the Advisory Clinic for Chest Diseases and Respiratory (ACCDR) in the Basra Governorate from 01/03/2013 to 1/02/2014. Smears were stained with the Ziehl Neelsen technique and specimens were inoculated on Lowenstein Jensen medium, Identification to species level was achieved on the basis of the growth characteristics, pigment production and conventional biochemical tests. Drug susceptibility was tested to rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, isoniazid, and streptomycin using the proportional method. .. View More»
