Cutis.
1979 Jun.
Abstract
Two patients with Mycobacterium marinum infections from home tropical fish aquariums are presented herein. Both patients showed dramatic improvement with minocycline therapy. In vitro susceptibility results also confirmed minocycline, doxycycline, and tetracycline efficacy using disc diffusion and dilution methods.
