A study was conducted on 40 Mycobacterium fortuitum strains isolated from symptomatic patients suffering from respiratory diseases and skin lesions. Their susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents was determined by the broth microdilution method, measuring minimal inhibitory concentration. There was sensitivity of the strains to gentamicin and tetracycline as well as resistance to the tuberculostatic drugs used (isoniazid and ethambutol) and cefalotin.

D004977 Ethambutol An antitubercular agent that inhibits the transfer of mycolic acids into the cell wall of the tubercle bacillus. It may also inhibit the synthesis of spermidine in mycobacteria. The action is usually bactericidal, and the drug can penetrate human cell membranes to exert its lethal effect.

D000995 Antitubercular Agents Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.
