Sixty-seven of 72 strains of Mycobacterium avium (93.1%) were resistant to sodium nitrite at a concentration of 3 mg/ml in 7H11 agar medium, while 57 of 59 strains of Mycobacterium intracellulare (96.6%) were susceptible to the agent. The difference in the susceptibilities of M. avium and M. intracellulare to sodium nitrite is therefore useful for the differentiation of the two species.
在7H11琼脂培养基中,72株鸟分枝杆菌中有67株(93.1%)对浓度为3毫克/毫升的亚硝酸钠耐药,而59株胞内分枝杆菌中有57株(96.6%)对该试剂敏感。因此,鸟分枝杆菌和胞内分枝杆菌对亚硝酸钠敏感性的差异有助于区分这两个菌种。
