Differentiation ofMycobacterium cheloneifromM. fortuitumby ciprofloxacin susceptibility

Abstract
SUMMARY: Seventy-five strains ofMycobacterium fortuitumwere inhibited by 3·0 mg/1 ciprofloxacin but 36 strains ofM. cheloneiwere resistant. The results correlated well with those obtained by the nitratase test. The ciprofloxin sensitivity test is a useful supplement to the tests used to identify these two species.
