Evaluation of a low-cost calorimetric approach for rapid detection of tuberculosis and other mycobacteria in culture
D. Rodríguez, A.U. Daniels, J.L. Urrusti, D. Wirz, O. Braissant

Infections caused by mycobacteria are severe and difficult to treat. With 9·27 million new cases of tuberculosis in 2007, developing countries experience severe health and economic consequences owing to the lack of an affordable, fast detection method. Research-grade IMC instruments are too expensive to use in developing countries. This study demonstrates that less-expensive instruments such as the TAM air® are adequate for mycobacteria detection and therefore establishes a clear proof of concept.
