Antibiotic resistant coryneforms (group JK) have increasingly been reported as causes of serious sepsis in the immunosuppressed and in patients with implants. Their cultural and biochemical characteristics were examined in an attempt to provide a simple scheme for their recognition in the clinical laboratory. Their susceptibilities to a range of antimicrobials were determined, and an enriched selective medium was developed for their isolation from normally non-sterile sites. The JK coryneforms fell into a fairly homogeneous group, producing colonial morphology and biochemical profiles identical with reference strains, which allowed their recognition and differentiation from other coryneforms. All strains were resistant to penicillin and susceptible to vancomycin, but there was considerable variation with respect to other antimicrobials. There is scope for further rationalisation of biochemical tests for the recognition of these organisms.
抗生素耐药棒状杆菌（JK组）越来越多地被报道为免疫抑制患者和植入物患者严重败血症的病因。对其培养和生化特性进行了检查，试图提供一种在临床实验室识别它们的简单方法。测定了它们对一系列抗菌药物的敏感性，并开发了一种富集选择性培养基，用于从通常非无菌部位分离它们。JK组棒状杆菌属于一个相当同质的群体，其菌落形态和生化特征与参考菌株相同，这使得它们能够被识别并与其他棒状杆菌区分开来。所有菌株对青霉素耐药，对万古霉素敏感，但对其他抗菌药物的敏感性存在很大差异。对于识别这些微生物的生化试验，还有进一步合理化的空间。
