Mycobacterium marinum

Mycobacterium marinum, also known as fish tank granuloma, is a skin infection which presents as one or more reddish painless bumps usually on an arm or hand of typically someone who cleans out fish tanks.[1] It may spread along the lymphatic drainage.[2]

It is caused by a slow growing mycobacterium (SGM) belonging to the genus Mycobacterium and the phylum Actinobacteria.[3]

The strain marinum was first identified by Aronson in 1926 and it is observed as a pathogenic mycobacterium.[4] For example, tuberculosis like infections in fish (mycobacteriosis) and skin lesions in humans.[4] Whole genome sequence of M. marinum (M strain) was first published in 2008[5] and later with the emerge of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), marinum type strain or patient isolates genome sequences were published.[6][7] 

Phylogeny

Initial phylogenetic studies using the gene 16S rDNA sequence data shows M. marinum is close to the M. tuberculosis and M. ulcerans.[3] 

Humans

Mycobacterium marinum is a mycobacterium which can infect humans. It was formerly known as Mycobacterium balnei.[8] Infection is usually associated either with swimming or with keeping or working with fish (aquarium granuloma).[8]
