Mycobacterium leprae in bone marrow
The case of a 54-year-old man, who was referred to evaluate a consumptive syndrome with anemia and fever of unknown origin, is reported. A physical examination revealed madarosis, nodular lesions on the ears, nasal soft tissue collapse, subcutaneous nodules on arms and generalized lymphadenopathy.

Peptidoglycan and Arabinogalactan of Mycobacterium Leprae [PDF]
The arabinogalactan and peptidoglycan of armadillo-grown Mycobacterium leprae were examined. Within the limits defined by the small amount of material available, the resemblance of these polymers to those of other mycobacteria was confirmed. The polymers were linked by a highly acid-labile bond and the arabinogalactan was itself acid-labile; free ...

Pyrimidine scavenging by Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]
Mycobacterium leprae incorporated exogenously supplied pyrimidines as bases or nucleosides, but not as a nucleotide, into its nucleic acids. Notably, thymine was incorporated approximately 5 times more rapidly than thymidine by both suspensions of, or intracellular M. leprae.

Global analyses of TetR family transcriptional regulators in mycobacteria indicates conservation across species and diversity in regulated functions [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mycobacteria inhabit diverse niches and display high metabolic versatility. They can colonise both humans and animals and are also able to survive in the environment.

Structural Implications of Mutations Conferring Rifampin Resistance in Mycobacterium leprae
The rpoB gene encodes the β subunit of RNA polymerase holoenzyme in Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). Missense mutations in the rpoB gene were identified as etiological factors for rifampin resistance in leprosy.
