In the context of a busy reference laboratory, radiometric selective inhibition tests were evaluated for rapid differentiation of M. tuberculosis and M. boyis and of the M. tuberculosis complex from other mycobacteria, p-Nitro-.alpha.-acetylamino-.beta.-hydroxypropiophenone at 5 .mu.g and hydroxylamine hydrochloride at 62.5 and 125 .mu.g/ml of 7H12 medium were used to separate the M. tuberculosis complex from other mycobacteria (MOTT bacilli). Since it is important epidemiologically to distinguish M tuberculosis from M. bovis, susceptibility to 1 .mu.g of thiophene-2-carboxylic acid/ml was also determined radiometrically. By using these 3 agents as selective inhibitors, M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and MOTT bacilli were differentiated with a high degree of specificity by a BACTEC radiometric procedure. Results of tests performed on clinical isolates submitted on solid medium to this reference laboratory were avialable within 5 days.
