Multiple greyish-white visceral nodules containing abundant rapidly growing and acid-fast bacteria, subsequently identified as Mycobacterium salmoniphilum, were detected in moribund and newly dead market-sized fish during a period of increased mortality in an Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, farm in western Norway. Isolates cultured from diseased fish were phenotypically consistent with Mycobacterium sp. previously isolated from Atlantic salmon [MT 1890 (= NCIMB13533), MT1892, MT1900 and MT1901] in the Shetland Isles, Scotland. Partial sequences of 16S rDNA, ribosomal RNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1), 65-kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp65) and β subunit of RNA polymerase (rpoB) revealed 97-99% similarity with M. salmoniphilum type strain ATCC 13758(T) . The source of infection was not confirmed. Koch's postulates were fulfilled following experimental challenge of Atlantic salmon with field isolate NVI6598 (FJ616988). Mortality was recorded in experimentally infected fish; however, the infection remained subclinical in the majority of affected fish over the 131-day challenge period
