In vitro susceptibility patterns for rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria in the United States

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) is uncommon or only performed in large reference laboratories. Here we developed a cumulative antibiogram for 14 RGM using the largest sample size to date (N = 3860). All RGM showed 82% to 100% susceptibility to amikacin. Mycobacterium abscessus showed low percentages of susceptibility to most antimicrobials; of antimicrobials without...
