development of multiplex pcr assays based on the 16s-23s rrna internal transcribed spacer for the detection of clinically relevant nontuberculous mycobacteria.	to accelerate the identification and differentiation of clinically relevant nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) with two sets of multiplex pcr (mpcr) targeting the 16s-23s rrna internal transcribed spacer (its) region for timely patient management.	2011	21395629
rapidly growing mycobacteria in singapore, 2006-2011.	nontuberculous mycobacteria infection is a growing global concern, but data from asia are limited. this study aimed to describe the distribution and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of rapidly growing mycobacterium (rgm) isolates in singapore. clinical rgm isolates with antibiotic susceptibility tests performed between 2006 and 2011 were identified using microbiology laboratory databases and minimum inhibitory concentrations of amikacin, cefoxitin, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, i ...	2015	25658536
