Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium Fortuitum Isolated from Gold Fish, Carassius Auratus
نویسنده
چکیده
Mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease of freshwater and marine fish. In the present study, Mycobacterium fortuitum from a diseased gold fish, Carassius auratus was isolated and identified by biochemical and molecular (PCR) method. The isolate was found to be resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol and myoconda® a nanodrug combination of rifampicin, clarithromycin and clofazamine by broth microdilution method (BMM). Presence of such drug resistant Mycobacterium fortuitum in ornamental fishes is of great concern due to its ability to cause disease in fishes and immunodeficient fish handlers.

Pathogenicity of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis to goldfish, Carassius auratus.
Despite the ubiquitous presence of atypical mycobacteria in the environment and the potential risk of infection in humans and animals, the pathogenesis of diseases caused by infection with atypical mycobacteria has been poorly characterized. In this study, goldfish, Carassius auratus were infected either with the rapidly growing fish pathogen, Mycobacterium fortuitum or with another rapidly gro...

متن کاملMycobacterium fortuitum isolated from three species of fish in South Africa.
Mycobacterium fortuitum was isolated from 3 species of freshwater fish in South Africa for the first time. The bacterium was isolated from oscars, guppies and discus fish from different sources. Heavy mortalities as a result of infection with this bacterium were reported from a guppy farm and the multi-resistance of this isolate to antimicrobials rules out the treatment of infected fish.

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important pathogen to animals and humans. Thirteen strains of Y. enterocolitica were isolated from diseased fish. The partial 16SrDNA gene, five virulence genes, pathogenicity, and drug resistance of Y. enterocolitica strain G6029 were studied using molecular biological technology and toxicological method. Results showed that the length of amplified 16SrDNA sequenc...
