This work is the first description of Mycobacterium peregrinum as an etiological agent for mycobacteriosis in farmed fishes. We report the mycobacterial infection in farmed European tench (Tinca tinca L.) which was confirmed by culture, molecular identification methods (PCRs aimed at 16S rRNA, rpobeta and hsp65 sequencing), and histopathology. Since M. peregrinum infection has been described in humans, their clinical significance in fishes should be considered of healthcare interest. With this case report, we also show that a multidisciplinary approach was needed to overcome difficulties associated to diagnosis of piscine mycobacteriosis.
这项工作首次描述了外来分枝杆菌作为养殖鱼类分枝杆菌病的病原体。我们报告了养殖欧洲丁鱥（Tinca tinca L.）中的分枝杆菌感染，该感染通过培养、分子鉴定方法（针对16S rRNA、rpobeta和hsp65测序的PCR）以及组织病理学得到证实。由于外来分枝杆菌感染已在人类中被描述，其在鱼类中的临床意义应被视为具有医疗保健方面的重要性。通过本病例报告，我们还表明需要采用多学科方法来克服与鱼类分枝杆菌病诊断相关的困难。
