Throat Culture

The last time I was at clinic, I mentioned to my doctor that I've had a bad taste in my mouth & he noticed that my tonsils looked all crummy.
He then cultured for strep throat and some other things.
I received a copy of the report & I was negative for strep, but the report said...
AFB Culture...culture in process

Do any of you happen to know what this is? I'm used to sputum culture lingo, but had never seen this before & thought maybe some of you have had to have throat cultures done on your kiddos and may be familiar with this term?

Thanks!
