Fish tank granuloma has traditionally been associated with Mycobacterium marinum. We report the case of a 54 old-year woman that worked in a freshwater fish pet store and developed a skin ulcer in a hand finger with a suppurative granuloma secondary to Microbacterium paraoxydans. This is a bacterial fish pathogen, rarely observed in human infections. Identification was performed by colony morphology and MALDI-TOF. She evolved satisfactorily after receiving a sequential treatment with beta-lactams and linezolid. To our knowledge, it is the first known description of this type.

Mycobacterium marinum is a slow growing Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) known to cause skin and subcutaneous tissue infections known as "fish tank granuloma" in humans. Treatment of M. marinum skin infections can last for several months or even years.

Heterogeneity of the rearing environment in farmed animals can improve welfare and stocking success by enhancing natural behaviours, reducing stress, and decreasing pathogen occurrence. Although microbial diversity is often associated with well-being, their direct and indirect effects on health of farmed animals remain underexplored. We examined the impact of structural heterogeneity of aquaculture tanks on microbial communities in tank biofilm and fish gut microbiome.

Introduction: Mycobacterium marinum is a well-known pathogenic non-tuberculous mycobacterium for skin and soft tissue infections. Infection, often presenting as superficial lesions, is seen after exposure of skin abrasions to contaminated water or infected fish and is known as "swimming pool" or "fish tank" granuloma. This study reported a case of M.

With increasing evidence showing the connections between the microbiome, neurophysiology, and behavior, our research endeavors to investigate whether the consumption of a combination of two postbiotics with antioxidant effects can affect behavior regulation in model species. Here, we worked with a combination (1:1 ratio) of heat-treated subsp. ES1 (CECT7347) and BPL15 (CECT8361) as a dietary supplement.
