This study demonstrates for the first time that carp (Cyprinus carpio) neutrophilic granulocytes from the head kidney possess potent spontaneous cytotoxic activity against several human tumor cell lines. Carp head kidney cells isolated at a densit...
Mycobacterium marinum is a slow-growing, photochromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, which can cause mycobacteriosis in various animals, including humans. Several cases of fish mycobacteriosis have been reported to date. Mycobacterium marinum h...
Mycobacterium chelonae is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals, including humans. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of M. chelonae subsp. bovis strain NJB1701, which was isolated from a Baikal s...

INTRODUCTION: Mycobacterium montefiorense is one of the causes of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections in moray eels and salamanders. Although M. montefiorense infection could be a threat to salamanders, little information is available regardi...
Mycobacterium marinum is a prevalent nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)-infecting teleosts. Conversely, little is known about mycobacteriosis in elasmobranchs, and M. marinum infection has never been reported from the subclass. This study investig...
