Mycobacterium gordonae

Description

Gram-positive, nonmotile and moderate to long acid-fast rods.

Colony characteristics

Physiology

  • Growth on Löwenstein-Jensen medium and Middlebrook 7H10 agar within 7 or more days at 37°C (optimal 25°C).
  • Does not grow in the presence of ethambutol (1mg/l), isoniazid (10mg/l) and sodium chloride (5%).

Differential characteristics

  • A commercial hybridisation assay (AccuProbe) to identify M. gordonae exists.
  • Intraspecies variability in 16S rDNA sequences

Pathogenesis

Type Strain

Strain ATCC 14470 = CCUG 21801 = CCUG 21811 = CIP 104529 = DSM 44160 = JCM 6382 = NCTC 10267.

Treatment

Antimicrobial regimen

  • M. gordonae [1]
