Susceptibility of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria to nitrofurans and reference drugs.
a
MICs determined by macrobroth dilution and visual inspection of plates.
b
MIC determined by agar proportion method. Values reported are the range of at least two biologically independent experiments. Species tested included M. abscessus (ATCC 19977); M. avium (ATCC 25291); M. kansasii (ATCC 12478); M. fortuitum (ATCC 6841); and M. ulcerans (ATCC 35840).
