''Mycobacterium montefiorense'' has been demonstrated to be an etiologic agent of a granulomatous skin disease of moray eels. Sequence analysis, of the 16S rRNA gene reveals ''M. montefiorense'' is most closely related to ''Mycobacterium triplex'', an opportunistic pathogen of humans. M. montefiorense was named after the Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y., the medical institution where it was isolated. ==Description== Microscopy reveals beaded acid-fast rods from growth on Middlebrook 7H10 media at 25°C The colony characteristics are such that growth from Middlebrook 7H10 media at 25°C has small and transparent, slow growing, nonchromogenic colonies. The physiology is such that it does not grow at temperatures of >30°C. The differential characteristics are the following: *Unique 16S rRNA gene with its closest match being ''M. triplex'' *Sequences of the hsp65 amplicon demonstrated that ''M. montefiorense'' differs from ''M. triplex'' by 10 of 441 nucleotides and ''M. genavense'' by 14 of 441 nucleotides of the hsp65 gene sequence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mycobacterium montefiorense」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
