Abstract
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) is uncommon or only performed in large reference laboratories. Here we developed a cumulative antibiogram for 14 RGM using the largest sample size to date (N = 3860). All RGM showed 82% to 100% susceptibility to amikacin. Mycobacterium abscessus showed low percentages of susceptibility to most antimicrobials; of antimicrobials without interpretations, the minimum inhibitory concentration-90 for clofazimine was low (≤0.5mg/L). All three subspecies had ≤2.6% rrl resistance mutations, however intact erm(41) was detected in 70% to100% of M. abscessus abscessus and bolletii. Mycobacterium chelonae had a similar susceptibility pattern to M. abscessus subsp. massiliense and Mycobacterium immunogenum except that it was susceptible to tobramycin (87%). Mycobacterium fortuitum complex and similar organisms showed higher frequency of susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, beta-lactams, linezolid, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Although relatively small published RGM antibiograms showed substantial variance, a comprehensive antibiogram can help influence treatment and monitoring patterns of resistance.
