“…Sporotrichoid presentations have been reported in 20% to 81% of cases of M marinum infection. 5,20,[23][24][25][26][27] Delays in specific diagnosis are not uncommon for both for M marinum infection 19 and other NTMs causing skin infections. 5 Patients have often seen more than one medical provider before the diagnosis is made, and topical or intralesional steroids can mask the diagnosis.…”

“…M. ulcerans is found to be distributed extracellularly around the coagulative necrosis regions which is different from other mycobacteria that are marinum is also termed as the 'fish tank granuloma' or 'aquarium granuloma'. Meanwhile, more severe infections that can spread in a sporotrichoid pattern [11] to deeper tissue inflicting tendinitis, arthritis and osteomyelitis may occur especially in immunocompromised host [12,13] .…”

Skin and soft tissue infections are common presentations for non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The cutaneous infections caused by NTM may cause localized or diffuse lesions. M. ulcerans is one of the most identified pathogens that involves in the skin and soft tissue mycobacterial infections. Meanwhile, M. marinum, as an NTM has also become important emerging causal agents of cutaneous disease in various geographical regions. Although having common ancestry and highly similar in genetic makeup, M. ulcerans and M. marinum have differential impacts on the host innate immune system. In term pathogenesis, prolonged cell exposure to exotoxin mycolactone produced by M. ulcerans could lead to Buruli ulcer. Meanwhile, like most pathogenic mycobacteria, M. marinum evades the host immune responses by invading and replicating inside host cells and it is capable of modulating host immune responses. This article aims to provide a general overview and comparisons between the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and therapeutic strategies for M. ulcerans and M. marinum.
