Genotyping Mycobacterium ulcerans and Mycobacterium marinum by using mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units Institute of Tropical Medicine
Evolution of Mycobacterium ulcerans and other mycolactone-producing mycobacteria from a common Mycobacterium marinum progenitor Institute of Tropical Medicine
Genetic diversity and population structure of Mycobacterium marinum: new insights into host and environmental specificities Institute of Tropical Medicine
Mycobacterium marinum causes a systemic tuberculosis-like disease in fish, and skin infections in humans that might spread to deeper structures, resulting in tenosynovitis, arthritis and ostemomyelitis. However, little information is available concerning: (i) the intraspecific genetic diversity of M. marinum isolated from humans and animals; (ii) the M. marinum genotype circulation in the different ecosystems and (iii) the link between M. ...
Mycobacterium marinum Institute of Tropical Medicine
Evaluation of PCR-restriction profile analysis and IS2404 restriction fragment length polymorphism and amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting for identification and typing of Mycobacterium ulcerans and M. marinum Institute of Tropical Medicine
Mycobacterium marinum infections of the hand: a report of three cases KU Leuven
We report three cases of mycobacterium marinum infection, characterized by the long duration before a proper diagnosis was made. Mycobacterium marinum is a so-called atypical non-tuberculous mycobacterium, found in salt and fresh water, occasionally infecting humans. Most of the infections involve the fingers and the hand, after exposure to contaminated water. It is commonly called fish tank infection. The clinical picture can be very different: ...
