Abstract

Examination of 682 strains representing four species of mycobacteria (, and ) and seven species of nocardiae (, and ) indicated that, with the exception of and , resistance to rifampin (20 μg/ml) is a useful property for describing these species. Resistance to lysozyme (300 to 500 U/ml) is taxonomically useful for delineating all 11 species.
