Heterogeneity among Mycobacterium ulcerans isolates from Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 12, No. 5, Year 2006

Mycobacterium ulcerans causes Buruli ulcer, an ulcerative skin disease in tropical and subtropical areas. Despite restricted genetic diversity, mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable-number tandem repeat analysis on M. ulcerans revealed 3 genotypes from different African countries. It is the first time this typing method succeeded directly on patient samples.
