Mycobacterium murale
Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods or coccobacilli (0.4-0.5 μm x 0.6-1.4 μm).
Colony characteristics Smooth and scotochromogenic colonies of saffron yellow color.
Physiology
- Growth on Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 10-37 °C, optimum at 30 °C within 5 days.
- Susceptible to amikacin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin and ethambutol.
- Resistant to isoniazid.
Differential characteristics
- Mycobacterium murale and Mycobacterium tokaiense share an identical 5'-16S rDNA sequence
- However the ITS sequence of both species differs.
Pathogenesis
- Not known.
Type strain
- First isolated from water-damaged indoor building material, Finland.
