​This reagent is used to identify M. tuberculosis complex (MTBc). The principle is that MTBc is inhibited by ρ-Nitrobenzoic
acid (PNB), whereas non-tuberculous mycobacteria
(NTM) are resistant. Primary identification is done by the comparison of growth among the two media.

PNB is added to Middlebrook 7H11 or Lowenstein-Jensen during medium preparation. Follow Standard Operational Procedures for stock solution preparation and plates/tubes preparation.
