Mycobacterium ulcerans Experimental Dormancy. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2022 ABSTRACT. Whether Mycobacterium ulcerans, the etiological agent of Buruli ulcer in numerous tropical countries, would exist in a dormant state as reported for closely related Mycobacterium species, has not been established. Six M. ulcerans strains were exposed to a progressive depletion in oxygen for 2 months, using the Wayne model of dormancy ...
