Abstract
A total of 204 surgical specimens positive for acid-fast organisms yielded 169 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 15 of which were isolated by Middlebrook 7H-9 broth medium only. Mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis were isolated from 33 specimens, and Nocardia asteroides was isolated from 2 specimens.
