Acid-alcohol-fast rods, with frequent bent shapes. Nonspore-forming. Filaments are
not observed.
not observed.
Colonies are rough, nonpigmented and require 3 weeks or more to grow mature on
Lowenstein–Jensen medium. Grows at temperature 28 and 37 ºC. Grows on 5%
media supplemented with 5% (w/v) NaCl, but not MacConkey agar or picric acid
media.
