Mycobacterium marinum is a slow growing mycobacterium (SGM) belonging to the genus Mycobacterium and the phylum Actinobacteria.[1] The strain marinum was first identified by Aronson in 1926 and it is observed as a pathogenic mycobacterium.[2]For example, tuberculosis like infections in fish (mycobacteriosis) and skin lesions in humans.[2]
Mycobacterium marinum is a mycobacterium which can infect humans. It was formerly known as Mycobacterium balnei.[3]Infection is usually associated either with swimming or with keeping or working with fish (aquarium granuloma).[3]
Whole genome sequence of M. marinum (M strain) was first published in 2008[4] and later with the emerge of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), marinum type strain or patient isolates genome sequences were published.[5][6]
