 | Evaluation of the broth microdilution method using 2,3-diphenyl-5-thienyl-(2)-tetrazolium chloride for... |  Figure 2: Growth of M. fortuitum in Mueller-Hinton broth. (A) Media without STC, (B) solubilizing agent added in STC-containing media, and (C) STC-contatining media, in which dark precipitates were observed before solubilization.Bottom Line: Many isolates of M. fortuitum are susceptible to doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole, and imipenem, while many M. abscessus isolates are resistant to these drugs.In the present study, the modified broth microdilution method using STC was found to be reliable, easy... | Lee SM, Kim J, Jeong J, Park YK, Bai GH, Lee EY, et al. - J.
