Physiology
- Growth on Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 10-37°C, optimum at 30°C within 5 days.
- Susceptible to amikacinAmikacinAmikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat different types of bacterial infections. Amikacin works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and leaving the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins vital to its growth.-Administration:Amikacin may be...
