Isolation ofMycobacterium lepromatosisand Development of Molecular Diagnostic Assays to DistinguishMycobacterium lepraeandM. lepromatosis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2019
AbstractBackgroundMycobacterium leprae was thought to be the exclusive causative agent of leprosy until Mycobacterium lepromatosis was identified in a rare form of leprosy known as diffuse lepromatous leprosy (DLL).MethodsWe isolated M. lepromatosis from a patient with DLL and propagated it in athymic nude mouse footpads.

Comparative Sequence Analysis ofMycobacterium lepraeand the New Leprosy-CausingMycobacterium lepromatosis [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2009
ABSTRACTMycobacterium lepromatosisis a newly discovered leprosy-causing organism. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of its 16S rRNA gene and a few other gene segments revealed significant divergence fromMycobacterium leprae, a well-known cause of leprosy, that justifies the status ofM. lepromatosisas a new species.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

A Quantitative Approach to Record Skeletal Manifestations of Leprosy and Its Application to St Mary Magdalen Leprosarium, Winchester

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 526-536, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents and tests a new method for publishing and diagnosing leprosy‐related skeletal lesions while making available the leprosy‐related demographic data and pathology for St Mary Magdalen, Winchester (MMW). This method can facilitate interstudy comparisons of leprosy prevalence and severity by improving data comparability.
