چکیده

objective(s) rapidly growing mycobacteria (rgm) are capable of producing diseases in humans. since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. the main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of iranian clinically isolated myocbacterium fortuitum. materials and methods a total of 72 presumptively identified isolates of clinical atypical mycobacteria collected by isfahan research center for infectious diseases & tropical medicine during 2006-2008 were included in the current study. a combination of conventional and molecular tests was applied to identify the isolates. molecular methods including genus and group specific pcr and pcr-restriction algorithm (pra) based on hsp65 gene were applied to achieve exact identification of mycobacterial strains. antimicrobial susceptibility testing onm. fortuitum isolates was performed by in-house prepared broth microdilution test.. results out of 72 collected atypical mycobacteria isolates, we identified 25 strains of m. fortuitum. all strains had the specific molecular markers of mycobacterial identity and similar species specific pra pattern of the international type strain of m. fortuitum. drug susceptibility testing showed that the m. fortuitum isolates are sensitive to amikacin, sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin (100%), imipenem (92%), clarithromycin (76%), cefoxitin (56%) and doxycycline (16%). conclusion molecular identification of atypical mycobacteria based on pra is a reliable and rapid approach which can identify mycobacterial strains to the species level. our study showed that m. fortuitum plays a significant role in pulmonary and extrapulmonary infection in patients and should be given proper considerations when clinical samples are processed.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium fortuitum complex.

A total of 24 strains of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents by the disk diffusion and agar dilution techniques. By comparing zones of inhibition obtained with the disk diffusion technique with results of minimal inhibitory concentration determinations, it was shown that disk diffusion results could predict in vitro susceptibility to select...

Identification of clinically significant Mycobacterium fortuitum complex isolates.

Recent outbreaks of nosocomial infections caused by organisms identified as the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex suggest that species and subspecies identification is epidemiologically important. In a study of 170 strains, M. fortuitum was differentiated from M. chelonei by nitrate reduction and iron uptake. M. fortuitum was further divided into biovariant fortuitum, biovar peregrinum, and an un...
