Acid-fast rods. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are 3-4 mm in diameter, smooth and milky white in the light and in the dark.
Visible growth appears after 2 weeks of incubation at 25-37 ºC. No growth at 42 ºC.
No growth on MacConkey agar without crystal violet or on media supplemented with
5% NaCl.

Undetermined. One strain was isolated from a patient with type II respiratory failure.
Isolated from a freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) in Slovenia. One strain was isolated from human bronchoalveolar lavage.
Susceptible to amikacin, clarithromycin, ethambutol, linezolid, moxifloxacin, rifabutin, hydroxylamine, isoniazid and p-nitrobenzoic
acid. Resistant to thiacetazone.

Positive results for semi-quantitative catalase (>45 mm foam), nitrate reduction, tellurite reduction, and urease.
Negative results for thermostable catalase (68 ºC), beta-glucosidase, niacin accumulation, and Tween 80 hydrolysis.
