| response in distant lymph nodes of mice to infection in the hind footpad with mycobacterium marinum. | in an attempt to demonstrate the importance of the popliteal lymph node in limiting the progress of infection with mycobacterium marinum in the hind footpads of c57bl mice, such infections were studied in mice subjected to popliteal or popliteal and inguinal adenectomies. in the absence of the popliteal node, the footpad infection was only slightly enhanced compared with infections of sham-operated control mice; the inguinal node was found to be greatly enlarged and appeared to have substituted ... | 1980 | 7380564 |
| survival of balb/c mice after intravenous infection with mycobacterium marinum. | in a search for a simple technique by which to study the disease of mice that follows infection with mycobacterium marinum, survival of balb/c mice after i.v. inoculation of m. marinum was measured. length of survival was inversely proportional to the number of viable organisms in the inoculum, and was greater in weanling than in yearling mice. prior infection with m. marinum in a hindfoot pad at least two weeks before i.v. challenge with the same organism conferred protection against the challe ... | 1980 | 7399878 |
| tuberculosis in marine tropical fishes in an aquarium. | skin, gill and visceral tubercle lesions were detected in marine tropical fish in an aquarium. ninety-seven fish of 17 different genera were affected. the tubercles consisted of a wall of densely packed epithelioid cells and necrotic center packed with acid-fast bacilli identified as mycobacterium marinum. | 1980 | 7431514 |
| heat treatment for certain chronic granulomatous skin infections. | four cases of chronic granulomatous skin infections (two due to sporothrix schenckii and two to mycobacterium marinum) were treated primarily by the intermittent application of local hyperthermia. this treatment was initiated either because of intolerance to conventional iodide therapy for sporotrichosis or as interim therapy while awaiting diagnosis of the mycobacterial infections. the response indicated that the application of heat is a useful adjunct to the therapy of these infections. our ex ... | 1980 | 7444542 |
| in vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium marinum to eight antimicrobial agents. | the in vitro susceptibilities of 16 mycobacterium marinum strains to eight antimicrobial agents were determined by the agar dilution technique. the most active drugs were amikacin and kanamycin. tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline were inhibitory, predominantly at concentrations slightly below the expected blood and tissue levels. trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and erythromycin demonstrated activity only at concentrations greater than those usually attained in serum and tissues. gentamicin ... | 1980 | 7447416 |
| protection of mice by intraperitoneal vaccination against challenge in the foot pad with mycobacterium marinum. | in a study of local infection of mice with mycobacterium marinum, heat-killed m. marinum suspended either in hanks' balanced salt solution or in freund's incomplete adjuvant was administered i.p. to balb/c mice. the mice were challenged in the hind foot pad 3, 7, or 14 days thereafter with 5 x 10(3) viable m. marinum. at every time interval, killed m. marinum in the saline medium conferred modest protection against the challenge infection, whereas the antigen suspended in adjuvant conferred prot ... | 1980 | 7451112 |

| relationship between photochromogenicity and test temperature in mycobacteria. | although it has been recommended that photochromogenicity of mycobacteria should be tested after incubation at 25 to 30 degrees c for 2 weeks (wayne et al., int. j. syst. bacteriol. 24:412-419, 1974), our results indicate that photochromogenicity should be determined at 37 degrees c in the dark and under continuous exposure to light for 2 weeks. the test at 37 degrees c gives more stable results for mycobacterium kansasii, mycobacterium marinum and mycobacterium szulgai. | 1981 | 7276150 |
| susceptibility of mycobacterium marinum to tetracyclines and aminoglycosides. | current agar dilution methods for susceptibility testing of mycobacterium marinum versus the tetracyclines have failed to show in vitro susceptibility despite good in vivo results. we found that the tetracyclines were unstable in agar and resulted in a fine haze of growth for several concentrations before complete inhibition of growth was seen. in contrast, the aminoglycosides resulted in sharp minimal inhibitory concentration endpoints, which were generally independent of the length of incubati ... | 1981 | 7325629 |
| recent experience in the epidemiology of disease caused by atypical mycobacteria. | to obtain information on the epidemiology of mycobacteriosis, water and air samples collected along the east coast of the united states were examined for mycobacteria. mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum (mais) were isolated from 25% of the water, samples, mostly those from south carolina, georgia, and the gulf states. mycobacterium kansasii and mycobacterium marinum were not found, probably because of the detrimental effects of the naoh used to decontaminate the samples. mais strain ... | 1981 | 7339831 |
| role of the popliteal lymph node in infection with mycobacterium marinum of the hind footpad of the mouse, and source of the cells that characterize the process. | we examined the possibility that the popliteal lymph node serves as the source of the lymphocytes that, together with macrophages, characterize the lesion produced by infection with mycobacterium marinum in the hind footpad of the mouse. naïve mice were partially protected against challenge with m. marinum in the hind footpad by intravenous infusion of lymphocytes harvested from the popliteal nodes of donor mice infected with m. marinum 7 days earlier. lymphocytes harvested from the popliteal no ... | 1981 | 7345563 |

| the effect of body temperature and cell-mediated immunity on the growth of mycobacterium marinum and mycobacterium leprae in mice. | evidence is presented that the high susceptibility of armadillos to infection with mycobacterium leprae cannot be explained solely in terms of body temperature because mutant mice maintained with a body temperature similar to that of armadillos do not become heavily infected with m. leprae. the depression of cell-mediated immunity accompanying the low body temperature is not sufficient to produce an overwhelming infection. the results obtained with m. marinum suggest that whereas lack of cell-me ... | 1981 | 7031255 |

| mycobacterium-induced infectious granuloma in xenopus: histopathology and transmissibility. | the acid-fast bacteria present in the transmissible putative xenopus lymphosarcoma (px1) (m. balls, cancer res., 22: 1142-1154, 1962) were isolated and identified as mycobacterium marinum. m. marinum induces an infectious granuloma in xenopus which is histopathologically indistinguishable from xenopus "lymphosarcoma" (px1). it had been reported that the filtrate (0.22-micron pore size) and the supernate of ultracentrifugation (20,000 x g) of the pxl tissue homogenate were bacteria free and could ... | 1988 | 3338088 |
| mycobacterium chelonei tenosynovitis. | most atypical mycobacterium infections of the hand are caused by mycobacterium marinum. we are presenting a rare case of a mycobacterium chelonei tenosynovitis. the correct diagnosis is important because the chelonei species is resistant to most antituberculosis drugs. treatment should include surgical debridement and long-term chemotherapy after sensitivities have been determined. | 1988 | 3364921 |
| swimming pool granulomas due to mycobacterium marinum: an occupational hazard of lifeguards. | m. marinum appears to be an occupational hazard to lifeguards who clean swimming pools. if such persons have any persisting "boil," "ulcer," or "granuloma," these lesions should be considered to be caused by m. marinum, unless proven otherwise. | 1988 | 3391044 |
| cutaneous infection with mycobacterium avium-intracellulare scrofulaceum intermediate: a new pathogenic entity. | the atypical or environmental mycobacterial organisms constitute a large group of potential agents in the pathogenesis of cutaneous infection. the most commonly encountered mycobacterial infection after contact with water is mycobacterium marinum. we report an unusual case of cutaneous mycobacterial infection caused by a newly described opportunistic mycobacteria, m. avium-intracellulare scrofulaceum intermediate. this case emphasizes the difficulty in distinguishing among the species m. avium-i ... | 1988 | 3170812 |
| septic arthritis of the hand due to mycobacterium marinum. | mycobacterium marinum infections of the hand are very rare in the united kingdom and we found only one case of involvement of deep structures (tenosynovitis) in the british literature. we report a case of septic arthritis due to the organism. | 1988 | 3171307 |

| synovial involvement by mycobacterium marinum. a histopathological study of 25 culture-proven cases. | the present culture-proven cases are contrary to the generally held view that infection with mycobacterium marinum is habitually a superficial infection without potentially serious consequence. a wide spectrum of pathological lesions may be seen in the synovium and adjacent tissues in patients infected by m. marinum. variations in the morphology of the inflammatory reaction occurs both between cases and, to a lesser extent, in different areas of individual cases. the inflammation ranges from the ... | 1988 | 3241735 |

| isolation and characterization of recombinant lambda gt11 bacteriophages expressing eight different mycobacterial antigens of potential immunological relevance. | a genomic lambda gt11 dna library of mycobacterium tuberculosis was screened for expression of mycobacterial protein antigens with murine monoclonal antibodies. the reactivity patterns of the monoclonal antibodies ranged from those showing a limited interspecies reactivity to antibodies widely cross-reactive among different mycobacterial species. twelve recombinant bacteriophages were isolated, containing eight mycobacterial genes (paa, pab, pac, pad, paea, paeb, pafa, and pafb) encoding protein ... | 1988 | 2451643 |
| comparative studies of antigenic glycolipids of mycobacteria related to the leprosy bacillus. | the leprosy bacillus, mycobacterium leprae, is a member of a small group of mycobacteria comprising the species mycobacterium bovis, mycobacterium marinum, mycobacterium kansasii, mycobacterium tuberculosis, mycobacterium ulcerans and related taxa. this relationship is based on the similarity of the characteristic lipid types in the cell envelope. mycobacterium leprae produces a phenolic glycolipid antigen which is species specific. this communication reports a comparison of the specificity of t ... | 1989 | 2504005 |
| specificity and antigenicity of mycoside g and other glycolipids from mycobacterium marinum. | the purpose of this work was to examine the immunologic properties of the phenolicglycolipid produced by m. marinum (mycoside g). cell mass processed with organic solvents yielded a lipid extract containing mycoside g and four other glycolipid fractions (g2 to g5). no mycoside g was found in the mycobacterium marinum type strain. neither mycoside g, nor fractions g2, g3 and g4 were immunogenic in the rabbit whereas fraction g5 was very immunogenic. the immune serum raised in the rabbit showed th ... | 1989 | 2504015 |
| [fish breeder granuloma: infection caused by mycobacterium marinum and other atypical mycobacteria in the human. analysis of 8 cases and review of the literature]. | granulomatous lesions of the skin and tendon sheaths after exposure to fish tank or aquarium water are frequently caused by non-tuberculous so-called atypical mycobacteria. mycobacterium marinum is the species most often isolated from such lesions. rarely, other non-tuberculous species of mycobacteria may be isolated. in contrast to swimming-pool granuloma as the epidemic form of mycobacterium marinum infection of man, fish tank granuloma seems to be a rare sporadic human disease that is often m ... | 1989 | 2533660 |
| case study: mariner's tb. | mycobacterium marinum causes tuberculosis in fish and shellfish and cutaneous lesions in humans. it is transmitted from fish to humans by inoculation. the case presented involved a nodule on the wrist and was misdiagnosed as arthritis; the nodule was excised. symptoms of tuberculosis persisted over a 2-year period. this case study can be generalized to a population of workers in the seafood industry, water hobbyists, and fish and shellfish enthusiasts. education and research is needed to inform ... | 1989 | 2757709 |
