1. NCBI Taxonomy ID:
1781
2. Introduction
Mycobacterium marinum is an atypical Mycobacterium species found in cold or warm, fresh or salted water. M marinum infection occurs following skin and soft-tissue injuries that are exposed to an aquatic environment or marine animals. The infection usually presents as a localized granuloma but can evolve into an ascending lymphangitis that resembles sporotrichosis or can spread to deeper tissues. M marinum is a pathogen classified in Runyon group 1 and is a photochromogen, meaning it produces pigment when cultured and exposed to light. Culture growth occurs over 7-14 days and is optimal at 32°C (Medscape - Mycobacterium marinum).

e. Gene Engineering of fbpA
  • Type: DNA vaccine construction
  • Description: Vector pcDNA 3.1 expressed Mycobacterium marinum Ag85A gene (Pasnik and Smith, 2005).

f. Vector:
pcDNA 3.1 (Pasnik and Smith, 2005)
g. Immunization Route

h. Fish Response
  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: Fish receiving the DNA vaccine developed a protective response to a live M. marinum challenge 90 days post-inoculation, as demonstrated by increased survival of vaccinated fish over control fish and by reduced splenic bacterial counts in vaccinated fish (Pasnik and Smith, 2005).
