Mycobacteroides salmoniphilum (formerly Mycobacterium salmoniphilum [2] ) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides . [1] It was first identified as the causative agent of mycobacteriosis in chinook salmon and steelhead trout, [4] but has since been found to cause disease in Atlantic cod, [5] Atlantic salmon, [6] [7] burbot, [8] [9] coho salmon, [10] [11] freshwater ornamental fish, [12] and Russian sturgeon. [13] It has also been isolated from tap water. [14] It is not known to infect humans. [15] M. salmoniphilum is susceptible to amikacin. [16]
