    Piscine mycobacteriosis has been reporfed to affect a wide range of freshwaterand marine fish species. The officially recognized etiological agents of this disease are Mycobacterium marinum, M. ... fortuitum and M. chelonae. Fish mycobacteriosis is also an imporfant zoonozis and poses a significant risk to all human beings working with the affected fish or the aquaria. In this paper, we describe our experience with mycobacteriosis in aquarium fish. In 13 aquarium fish of 5 different species that were investigated for the presence of mycobacteria by culture and molecular methods(a commercially available identification test GenoType Mycobacterium assay and a restriction enzyme analysis of the PCR products), the following mycobacterial species were identified: M. marinum (bx), M. gordonae (2X) and M. chelonae (2X). One specimen was positive using Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining,but the cultivation failed. One specimen was both ZN- and culture-negative. One isolate remained unidentified (Mycobacterium spp.). Besides the results of our study, a shorf overview of mycobacterial infectionsin fish and humans is also given.
