Article Synopsis
- Two closely related isolates of non-pigmented mycobacteria were sourced from sick fish, indicating a potential new species.
- Whole genome sequencing showed these isolates had low similarity to known mycobacteria, suggesting they are distinct.
- Based on various tests and analyses, the new species, named Mycobacterium syngnathidarum, has been formally proposed, with one isolate designated as the type strain.
