FIGURE 2.

Susceptibility patterns for rapid‐growing nontuberculous mycobacterial (RGM) isolates identified in cats from northern California expressed as a percentage (susceptible, intermediate, and resistant, as defined by human breakpoints). Number of isolates tested against each antimicrobial is listed on the horizontal axis. TMS, trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. A, Susceptibility patterns for Mycobacterium smegmatis isolates. B, Susceptibility patterns for Mycobacterium fortuitum isolates. ** The exact correlation between in vivo and in vitro efficacy has not been well delineated in human or feline RGM infections
