It was formerly known as Mycobacterium balnei. [2] The strain marinum was first identified by Joseph D. Aronson in 1926 and it is observed as a pathogenic mycobacterium [3] causing tuberculosis-like infections in fish (mycobacteriosis) and skin lesions in humans. [3] [4] The bacteria grows optimal at a temperature around 30 °C. [4]
Aquarium granuloma (also known as fish tank granuloma and swimming pool granuloma) is a rare skin condition caused by a non-tubercular mycobacterium known as Mycobacterium marinum. [2] Skin infections with M. marinum in humans are relatively uncommon, and are usually acquired from contact with contaminated swimming pools, aquariums or infected ...
Runyon III organisms (nonchromogens) are slow-growing and never produce pigment, regardless of culture conditions. The group includes Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare (together known as the MAC complex), Mycobacterium ulcerans and numerous other organisms. Mycobacterium xenopi is also a nonchromogen.
Model of the Mycobacterium spp. cell envelope with 3-D protein structures. Mycobacteria are aerobic with 0.2-0.6 μm wide and 1.0-10 μm long rod shapes. They are generally non-motile, except for the species Mycobacterium marinum, which has been shown to be motile within macrophages. [8] Mycobacteria possess capsules and most do not form ...
They can cause disease in humans. [1] List of slowly growing Mycobacteria ... Mycobacterium marinum; Yellow and rough. Mycobacterium kansasii; Scotochromogenic. Yellow
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are all the other mycobacteria that can cause pulmonary disease resembling tuberculosis, lymphadenitis, skin disease, or disseminated disease. Although over 150 different species of NTM have been described, pulmonary infections are most commonly due to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), Mycobacterium kansasii ...
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), also called Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex, is a microbial complex of three Mycobacterium species (i.e. M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. chimaera). [6] It causes Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection. [7] [8] Some sources also include Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). [9]
Disease Cause Fish Affected Image Symptoms Treatment Neon tetra disease: Pleistophora hyphessobryconis (Microsporidia) Neon tetras, zebrafish, various aquarium fish Heavily infected fish appear emaciated and lethargic. Infection targets skeletal muscle, which will appear more opaque through the skin. Piscine tuberculosis: Mycobacterium marinum ...
