Isolation of Mycobacteria from Frozen Fish Destined for Human Consumption
ABSTRACT Mycobacteria were isolated from defrost water and tissue of sole ( Solea solea ), hake ( Merluccius merluccius ), cod ( Gadus morhua ), ling ( Genypterus blacodes ), and monkfish ( Lophius piscatorius ) on Löwenstein-Jensen medium after incubation at different temperatures. Samples of froz...

Summary: | ABSTRACT Mycobacteria were isolated from defrost water and tissue of sole ( Solea solea ), hake ( Merluccius merluccius ), cod ( Gadus morhua ), ling ( Genypterus blacodes ), and monkfish ( Lophius piscatorius ) on Löwenstein-Jensen medium after incubation at different temperatures. Samples of frozen fish were obtained under sterile conditions inside a refrigeration chamber (−18 to −22°C) in a wholesale market from which these products are distributed to shops for retail sale and human consumption. |
