Abstract
Mycobacterium murale
Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods or coccobacilli (0.4-0.5 µm x 0.6-1.4 µm). Colony characteristics Smooth and scotochromogenic colonies of saffron yellow color. Physiology
Growth on Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 10-37 °C, optimum at 30 °C within 5 days. Susceptible to amikacin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin and ethambutol. Resistant to isoniazid.
Differential characteristics
Mycobacterium murale and Mycobacterium tokaiense share an identical 5'-16S rDNA sequence However the ITS sequence of both species differs.
