The test for susceptibility to kanamycin is useful for differentiating between the genera Rhodococcus and Nocardia. All rhodococci except R. equi, R. erythropolis, and R. aurantiacus are susceptible to kanamycin, whereas all nocardiae except N. otitidis-caviarum are resistant to kanamycin. Tests for susceptibility to rifampicin, streptomycin, and minocycline also are useful for differentiating among the species of each genus.
卡那霉素敏感性试验有助于区分红球菌属和诺卡氏菌属。除马红球菌、红平红球菌和橙色红球菌外,所有红球菌对卡那霉素敏感,而除耳腔诺卡氏菌外,所有诺卡氏菌对卡那霉素耐药。利福平、链霉素和米诺环素的敏感性试验也有助于区分各属的菌种。
