This study revealed amikacin, clarithromycin, and moxifloxacin as the most effective antibiotics. However, since M. simiae exhibited a high level of antibiotic resistance in vitro, therefore, species identification and determining the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates are essential before treatment.
