Mycobacterium montefiorense is a species of bacteria which cause granulomatous skin disease of moray eels.[1] Sequence analysis, of the 16S rRNA gene reveals M. montefiorense is most closely related to Mycobacterium triplex, an opportunistic pathogen of humans.[1]
M. montefiorense was named after the Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y., the medical institution where it was isolated.[1]
M. montefiorense are acid-fast rods which grow on Middlebrook 7H10 media at 25 °C to form small, transparent, slow-growing colonies.[1]
M. montefiorense do not grow at temperatures above 30 °C.[1]
The strain ATCC BAA-256 = CCUG 51898 = DSM 44602.
M. montefiorense has been demonstrated to cause granulomatous skin disease of moray eels.[1]
