Strongly acid-alcohol-fast rods, 4-9 μm. No production of spores, capsules, and true
branching.
branching.
Colonies are smooth, mucoid, nonchromogenic and appear in 2-4 days on
Lowenstein-Jensen medium. Growth occurs at 22, 30, 37, and 45 ºC; optimum
growth occurs at 30 and 37 ºC. Grows on MacConkey agar (without crystal violet) and
in the presence of potassium tellurite. Most strains grow in 5% (w/v) NaCl media.

Undetermined. The pulmonary isolates seems to be pathogenic.
Isolated from human sputum, pulmonary samples, blood, surgical wounds and respiratory samples. Not isolated from the
environment. Resistant to isoniazid, cycloserine, capreomycin, pyrazinamide, thiosemicarbazone, and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid
hydrazide (TCH). Variably susceptible to ethambutol.

Positive results for arylsulfatase activity at 3 and 7 days, catalase, nicotinamidase and pyrazinamidase.
Can utilize as sole carbon source acetamide, D- and L-malate, D-mannitol and trehalose.
Negative results for thermostable catalase (68 ºC), niacin accumulation, Tween hydrolysis, and urease.
Variable results for nitrate reductase, iron uptake, allantoinase, benzamidase, iso-nicotinamidase, succinidamidase, utilization of
citrate and inositol as sole carbon sources.
