Quantitative lateral flow strip assays as user-friendly tools to detect biomarker profiles for leprosy [PDF]
, 2016 Leprosy is a debilitating, infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Despite the availability of multidrug therapy, transmission is unremitting. Thus, early identification of M. leprae infection is essential to reduce transmission.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial empyema in an immunocompetent child
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2018 Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. There are very few reports of NTM in immunocompetent children causing empyema.

A Multiepitope‐Based Lateral Flow Assay for Leprosy Antibodies
Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.An innovative lateral flow assay for leprosy diagnosis is based on gold nanoparticles and synthetic Mycobacterium leprae epitopes conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein to enhance antibody detection. This strategy provides a rapid, accurate, and low‐cost approach for resource‐limited settings, enabling the early detection of infection. Leprosy

Phylogenomics and antimicrobial resistance of the leprosy bacillus Mycobacterium leprae
Nature Communications, 2018 Leprosy is caused by the yet-uncultured pathogen Mycobacterium leprae. Here, Benjak et al. obtain M. leprae genome sequences from DNA extracted from patients' skin biopsies and, by analysing 154 genomes from 25 countries, provide insight into the ...
