We have developed a broth microdilution susceptibility test method for nontuberculous mycobacteria
(NTM); in this test method, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is measured through bioluminescence, with
viable count as the indicator. We have conducted the basic analysis of the method and compared the
method with the broth microdilution method (MB method) using four ATCC referece strains and 45 clinical
isolates. As a result of the examination of the ATP-measuring method (ATP method), it has been shown
that 30-minute pre-processing at room temperature and extraction at 60῎ for 10 minutes were appropriate
steps. For the ATP method, judgment was made by measuring the relative light unit (RLU) ratio after
culturing the microplate for 5 days, and comparison was made with the MIC value after culturing for 7
days. When the positive values for growth were set to an RLU ratio of ῍0.1 for 7 drugs, that is,
streptomycin, ethambutol, kanamycin, isoniazid, levofloxacin, ethionamide and amikacin, and to an RLU
ratio of ῍0.03 for rifampicin and clarithromycin, the rate of concordance with the MB method was rather
lower (84.4῏) for Mycobacterium kansasii ATCC 12478, whereas 97.8ῌ100῏ concordance rates were
obtained for 3 ATCC reference strains. Regarding clinical isolates, the concordance rates obtained for
Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium avium, and M. kansasii were 92.2῏, 97.2῏ and 100῏, respectively. From the above results, we have concluded that the ATP method is useful as a method of testing
drug susceptibility of NTM.
