The aim of this study was to create a standarized numerical data base of high pressure liquid chromatography elution (HPLC) profiles of mycolic acids extracted from the "Mycobacterium" cell wall, with 28 mycobacterial American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strains taken as a reference for the study. The final result of our work is a notebook of standarized elution profiles and a computer program (MYCAM) for highly effective and specific automatic "Mycobacterium" species identification.
A broad review of publications concerning Mycobacteriacea occurring in fish and humans have been presented. The most recent findings on Mycobacterium marinum, M. fortuitum and M. chelonae, including author’s original findings on M. marinum, were analysed. The characteristics of these bacteria, their pathogenicity and currently used therapeutic methods for mycobacteria affected fish and humans have also been described.
