Abstract: 

A total of 140 strains of Mycobacterium species were studied for their ability to hydrolyze 54 different fluorogenic 4-methylumbelliferyl (4-MU)- and 2-naphthylamide (2-NA)-linked fluorogenic substrates within 6 and 24h of incubation. Enzymatic profiles were heterogeneous within the genus, and some of the tests can improve the differentiation of Mycobacterium species. However, enzymatic profiles are not sufficient for unambiguous identification and should be used in combination with other biochemical tests.
