Acid-fast bacilli. Gram-positive.
Colonies are non-pigmented and appear on 5% sheep blood agar, Middlebrook
7H10 agar and egg-based Lowenstein-Jensen slants in 2-5 days at temperatures
between 24 and 37 ºC, optimally at 30 ºC. No growth occurs at 42 ºC. No growth in 5%
(w/v) NaCl media or in MacConkey agar without crystal violet.

Positive results for arylsulfatase (3 days), acetoin production, alkaline phosphatase, catalase, tellurite reduction, and esculin
hydrolysis.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, acid phosphatase, semiquantitative catalase test, thermo-stable catalase (68 ºC),
