Numerical identification using the range of a species defined as ( M ±2s)% was shown to be suitable for the identification of slowly growing mycobacteria. In the formula, M is the mean matching coefficient for individual strains of each species to the hypothetical median organism pattern of their own species and s is the standard deviation.
