Inoculation to humans occurs through injured skin resulting in the formation of a solitary nodule known as \u201cfish tank granuloma.\u201d Disseminated infections have been reported in the immunocompromised and can present with extracutaneous manifestations such as arthritis and osteomyelitis. Nonaquatic transmission has not been previously reported.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Case Presentation:<\/jats:bold> A 63\u2010year\u2010old lady with rheumatoid arthritis and bronchiectasis was referred to dermatology with widespread soft dermal plaques, pustules, erosions, and necrotic wounds. Multiple bacterial and viral swabs were negative. A biopsy was performed that showed a neutrophilic dermatosis suggestive of Sweet\u2019s Syndrome. The patient initially improved with prednisolone, but subsequently deteriorated with a worsening rash, joint pains, and neutropenic sepsis. Repeat biopsies eventually revealed abundant acid\u2010fast bacilli, later confirmed to be <jats:italic>Mycobacterium marinum<\/jats:italic>. Our patient had no history of exposure to aquatic organisms but had previously cared for an inland bearded dragon with an unknown illness. Although infection with <jats:italic>M. marinum<\/jats:italic> has been reported in reptiles, cases of nonaquatic zoonotic transmission have not been described in the literature.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> <jats:italic>Mycobacterium marinum<\/jats:italic> infection should be considered in patients with indicative clinical and histological features, especially in the immunocompromised, even in the absence of an obvious aquatic source of infection. Awareness of this entity could lead to earlier diagnoses and reduced morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crdi\/2767290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]],"date-time":"2024-12-27T11:20:28Z","timestamp":1735298428000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Novel, Nonaquatic Zoonotic Transmission of <i>Mycobacterium marinum<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1924-0149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgios","family":"Kravvas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4744-4978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nada","family":"Aboukhatwah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6883-8340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lola","family":"Meghoma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1475-9689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria","family":"Vilenchik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4348-0273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jon","family":"Oxley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9150-3778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Keith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Mycobacterium Balnei, a New Acid Fast Bacillus Occurring in Swimming Pools and Capable of Producing Skin Lesions in Humans","volume":"33","author":"Linell F.","year":"1954","journal-title":"Acta Tuberculosea Scandinavica Supplementum"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.13491"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-94-4-486"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","first-page":"13273","article-title":"Mycobacterium Marinum","author":"Gluckman S.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Clinical Dermatology"},{"volume-title":"Mycobacterium Marinum Infection","year":"2023","author":"Akram S.
