Corresponding to Miae Lee, E-mail: miae@ewha.ac.kr  Ann Clin Microbiol 2020;23(2):105-116. https://doi.org/10.5145/ACM.2020.23.2.7Received on 5 March 2020, Revised on 28 April 2020, Accepted on 14 May 2020, Published on 20 June 2020.Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: The AdvanSure TB/NTM plus real-time PCR (AdvanSure plus PCR; LG Chem., Korea) assay has been developed to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) compared with the currently used the AdvanSure TB/NTM real-time PCR (AdvanSure PCR; LG Chem., Korea) assay. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of the AdvanSure plus PCR comparing the results with mycobacterial culture and the AdvanSure PCR. Methods: Patients (n=199) with suspected NTM or Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) were tested using AdvanSure plus PCR, AdvanSure PCR, acid-fast bacilli staining,
