A rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium was isolated from diseased koi carp in Niigata, Japan, which was identified as representing a novel Mycolicibacterium species through whole genome sequence analysis. The bacterial isolates (NGTWS0302, NGTWS1803 T and NGTWSNA01) were found to belong to the genus Mycolicibacterium through phylogenetic analysis using whole genome sequences of mycobacteria species. The bacterial colony was smooth, moist and non-chromogenic on 1% Ogawa medium at 30 °C. In biochemical characteristic tests, the bacterial isolates showed positive reactions for catalase activity, Tween 80 hydrolysis and tellurite reduction. The isolates were sensitive to 2-4 µg ml -1 ampicillin, kanamycin and rifampicin. Based on these results, we propose a novel Mycolicibacterium species, Mycolicibacterium cyprinidarum sp. nov. The type strain is NGTWS1803 T (=JCM 35117 T =ATCC TSD-289 T ). |
