Histologic sections stained with Kinyon’s acid fast stain in zebrafish exposed to Mycobacterium Chelonae examined at 15 week post exposure. Arrow = acid fast bacteria. (A) Bacteria in intestinal lumen (E = intestinal epithelium, Bar = 25 μm). (B) Testis with two granulomas with acid fast bacteria. (C) Ovary with two granulomas, one containing abundant acid fast bacteria. (D) Infection outcome analysis of male and female fish injected with M. chelonae (n = 66). All exposed female fish were positive for infections, but male fish differed in infection outcomes depending on diet
