Levi et al. 2003, ATCC BAA-256

Mycobacterium montefiorense is a species of bacteria which cause granulomatous skin disease of moray eels.[1] Sequence analysis, of the 16S rRNA gene reveals M. montefiorense is most closely related to Mycobacterium triplex, an opportunistic pathogen of humans.[1]

M. montefiorense was named after the Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y., the medical institution where it was isolated.[1]

Description

[edit]

M. montefiorense are acid-fast rods which grow on Middlebrook 7H10 media at 25 °C to form small, transparent, slow-growing colonies.[1]

M. montefiorense do not grow at temperatures above 30 °C.[1]

The strain ATCC BAA-256 = CCUG 51898 = DSM 44602.

Pathogenesis

[edit]

M. montefiorense has been demonstrated to cause granulomatous skin disease of moray eels.[1]
