Figure 1From: Phenotypic and genotypic properties of Microbacterium yannicii, a recently described multidrug resistant bacterium isolated from a lung transplanted patient with cystic fibrosis in FranceColonial morphology, gram staining and transmission electron microscopic image of the CF clinical isolate Microbacterium yannicii PS01. A. CF clinical isolate Microbacterium yannicii PS01 was grown on Columbia colistin-nalidixic acid agar with 5% sheep blood (bioMérieux) at 37°C with 5% CO2. The colony appeared as yellow, round and smooth. B. Gram staining picture of the gram-positive coccobacilli CF clinical isolate “CF Microbacterium yannicii PS01” viewed at 100X magnification. C. Transmission electron microscopy image of M. yannicii strain PS01, using a Morgani 268D (Philips) at an operating voltage of 60kV. The scale bar represents 900 nm.Back to article page
