Fifty-three clinical isolates of Mycobacterium fortuitum were tested for susceptibility to heavy-metal salts and antimicrobial agents. The isolates exhibited a bimodal distribution for several heavy metals including mercury, whose resistance is often plasmid mediated. There was a biovariant difference in the incidence of resistance, and resistance to several metal ions was often observed together. There was no apparent relationship between resistance to heavy-metal salts and resistance to antimicrobial agents such as tetracycline.
对53株偶然分枝杆菌临床分离株进行了重金属盐和抗菌剂敏感性测试。这些分离株对包括汞在内的几种重金属呈现双峰分布,其耐药性通常由质粒介导。耐药发生率存在生物变种差异,并且经常同时观察到对几种金属离子的耐药性。对重金属盐的耐药性与对四环素等抗菌剂的耐药性之间没有明显关系。
