The column percentages included in cells indicate the proportion of total n in for HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients belonging to categories of baseline characteristic. Chi square p values comparing the proportions of patients with each characteristic according to HIV status are also provided. *Median time to MGIT culture positive result for all patients = 109 h
