title: In vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium fortuitum and M. chelonei to sisomicin, gentamicin and tobramycin.
abstract: The in vitro action of sisomicin, gentamicin and tobramycin against 62 strains of Mycobacterium fortuitum and 20 strains of M. chelonei was investigated. At a drug concentration of 4 micrograms/ml, 31, 31 and 11%, respectively, of M. fortuitum strains and 90, 25 and 15%, respectively, of M. chelonei strains, were inhibited.
