Treatment ofMycobacterium marinumcutaneous infections

Abstract: Mycobacterium marinum is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium found in non-chlorinated water, with worldwide prevalence. It is the most common atypical Mycobacterium that causes opportunistic infection in humans. It presents as a solitary, red-to-violaceous plaque or nodule with an overlying crust or verrucous surface, or as inflammatory nodules or abscesses, usually in a sporotrichotic type of distribution. Deep infections may also occur. Although diagnosis is confirmed by isolation and identification of the organ… Show more

“…We compared the susceptibility of Mm WT ϩ pCP0, Mm ⌬tesA ϩ pCP0, and Mm ⌬tesA ϩ pCP0-tesAmm to six clinical antibiotics of different classes. The group tested included rifampicin, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, and streptomycin, all of which have reported use in the treatment of Mm infections (48). Remarkably, Mm ⌬tesA ϩ pCP0 displayed increased susceptibility to five of these antibiotics compared with Mm WT ϩ pCP0, as judged by IC 50 and MIC values ( Table 2).…”

“…Clarithromycin seems to be the only effective macrolide in M. marinum skin infections. In fact, erythromycin has not proven to be effective [1,29]. As far as azithromycin is concerned, it was effective in one patient [30]; however, it showed no activity against M. marinum in vitro [9,31].…”

“…Mycobacterium marinum infections are classified into four clinical presentations: type I - single superficial erosive or ulcerated or crusted or verrucous papules, nodules or plaques; type II - more or less numerous and widespread lesions, often with a sporotrichoid distribution; type III - deep infections (bursitis, tenosynovitis, arthritis, osteomyelitis), with or without skin involvement; type IV - systemic involvement and bacteraemia, almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients [1]. …”

“…Nearly one third of known Mycobacterium species have been observed to be associated with disease in humans [16]. The species of NTM associated with human disease are : M. avium, M. intracellulare [17,18], M. kansasii [19], M. paratuberculosis [20], M. scrofulaceum [21], M. simiae [22,23], M. interjectum [24], M. xenopi [25], M. szulgai [26], M. fortuitum [27], M. chelonae [28], M. marinum [29], M. genavense [30], M. ulcerans [31], M. smegmatis [32], M. thermoresistible [33], M. neoaurum [34], M. vaccae [35]. Presently little information is available on the evolution of RNR in different species of Mycobacterium which governs the central metabolic pathways by directing the DNA replication.…”
