Abstract
Mycobacterium agri is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus Mycobacterium.
Description
Microscopy
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (3-7 µm long). Frequently join to grow in long threads.
Colony characteristics
Rough, and nonphotochromogenic colonies.
Physiology
Rapid growth on egg media at 22-45 °C, not at 52 °C, in less than 5 days. Niacin negative, catalase positive, β-galactosidase usually positive. Tween 80 not hydrolysed after 14 days. Resistant to 5% NaCl, p-nitrobenzoic acid (0.5 mg/ml) and thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1 mg/l).
