Volume 35, no. 1, p. 307–310, 1997. Portions of the description of the methodology used to resolve the discrepant outcomes between AMTDT and culture were taken virtually verbatim from an article by Pfyffer et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 32:918–923, 1994).

Portions of the “discussion” section of our paper were also taken virtually verbatim from two articles by Pfyffer et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 34:834–841, 1996; 32:918–923, 1994).
