^a Includes all cases tested using both MGIT 960 media and BACTEC 12B media.

^b Includes only cases where M. bovis was recovered, and both MGIT 960 media and BACTEC 12B media were used. There were 3 samples were M. bovis was recovered only on solid media.

^c Includes only cases where atypical mycobacteria were recovered, and both MGIT and BACTEC media was used. There were 21 samples where atypical mycobacteria were recovered on solid media only.
