Mycobacterium marinum ( Syn .: Mycobacterium balnei ) is a rod- shaped bacterium from the Mycobacteriaceae family. It occurs in both fresh and salt water .
It belongs to the MOTT , the atypical, non-tubercular mycobacteria. In humans it causes opportunistic skin infections , so-called aquarium or swimming pool granulomas ( ICD-10 : A31.11 infection by Mycobacterium: marinum [swimming pool granuloma ] ). Because of the relationship to Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the therapy is carried out with agents that also help against tuberculosis , such as. B. Clarithromycin and Rifampicin .
The bacterium causes fish tuberculosis , a common disease in aquarium fish.
