The study of 52 strains of rapidly growing mycobacteria showed that Mycobacterium fortuitum and M. chelonei were clearly distinguished by the aid of seven key tests (nitrate reductase, iron uptake, beta-glucosidase, penicillinase, growth on fructose, resistance to pipemidic acid, and resistance to capreomycin) and by analysis of their respective mycolic acids. However, the subdivision of these species into M. fortuitum var. fortuitum and M. fortuitum var. peregrinum and M. chelonei subsp. chelonei and M. chelonei subsp. abscessus was not satisfactorily accomplished.
对52株快速生长分枝杆菌的研究表明,借助七项关键试验(硝酸还原酶、铁摄取、β-葡萄糖苷酶、青霉素酶、在果糖上的生长、对吡哌酸的耐药性以及对卷曲霉素的耐药性)并通过分析它们各自的分枝菌酸,偶然分枝杆菌和龟分枝杆菌能够被清楚地区分。然而,将这些菌种细分为偶然分枝杆菌偶然变种、偶然分枝杆菌迁徙变种、龟分枝杆菌龟亚种和龟分枝杆菌脓肿亚种的工作并未令人满意地完成。
