| Sumario: | <i>Mycobacterium fortuitum</i> group (MFG) members are able to cause clinical mycobacteriosis in fish and other animals including humans. <i>M. alvei</i>, <i>M. arceuilense</i>, <i>M. brisbanense</i>, <i>M. conceptionense</i>, <i>M. fortuitum</i>, <i>M. peregrinum</i>, <i>M. porcinum</i>, <i>M. senegalense, M. septicum</i>, and <i>M. setense</i> were isolated from fish with mycobacteriosis. In other animals only three MFG species have been isolated: <i>M. arceuilense</i> from camels’ milk, <i>M. farcinogenes</i> from cutaneous infections often described as “farcy”, and <i>M. fortuitum</i> from different domestic and wild mammals’ species. Out of 17, only 3 MFG species (<i>M. arceuilense</i>, <i>M. lutetiense</i> and <i>M. montmartrense</i>) have never been reported in humans. A total of eight MFG members (<i>M. alvei</i>, <i>M. brisbanense</i>, <i>M. conceptionense</i>, <i>M. fortuitum</i> subsp. <i>acetamidolyticum</i>, <i>M. houstonense</i>, <i>M. peregrinum</i>, <i>M. porcinum</i>, and <i>M. septicum</i>) have been isolated from both pulmonary and extrathoracic locations. In extrathoracic tissues five MFG species (<i>M. boenickei</i>, <i>M. farcinogenes</i>, <i>M. neworleansense</i>, <i>M. senegalense</i>, and <i>M. setense</i>) have been diagnosed and only one MFG member (<i>M. fortuitum</i> subsp. <i>acetamidolyticum</i>) has been isolated from pulmonary infection. |
