Simple, new test for rapid differentiation of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex

M J Casal et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1981 May.

Abstract

A simple, new test to differentiate species in the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex by determining susceptibility to pipemidic acid is described. A 20-mug pipemidic acid disk provides a rapid and reliable means of distinguishing M. fortuitum from M. chelonei.
