Quantitative PCR Assay for Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii and Mycobacterium shottsii and Application to Environmental Samples and Fishes from the Chesapeake Bay

Abstract: Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Chesapeake Bay are currently experiencing a very high prevalence of mycobacteriosis associated with newly described Mycobacterium species, Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii and M. shottsii. The ecology of these mycobacteria outside the striped bass host is currently unknown. In this work, we developed quantitative real-time PCR assays for M. pseudoshottsii and M. shottsii and applied these assays to DNA extracts from Chesapeake Bay water and sediment samples, as well as to tis… Show more

“…Pathogen screens among striped bass revealed infection with multiple mycobacterial species, including M. marinum , M. shotsii, M. pseudoshottsii (Gauthier et al . ). In many instances, infection levels exceed 70% in affected striped bass populations (Kaattari et al .…”

“…L41 and M. sp. L30 (poorly characterized isolates from striped bass) and M. marinum E11 were included in the alignment (Gauthier et al 2010). All alignments were performed using Geneious software v7.1.5 (Biomatters) using MUSCLE (Edgar 2004).…”

“…Direct hypotheses of disease transmission in the field remain difficult to test, although some etiologic agents are ubiquitously distributed in water of the bay mainstem (Gauthier et al 2010) and correlated to eutrophic conditions (Jacobs et al 2009). Therefore, elevated chl a may suppress striped bass condition through complex dynamics involving environmental effects on disease pathobiology.…”
