Molecular and epidemiological characterization of recurrent Mycobacterium ulcerans infections in Benin.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundBuruli ulcer is a neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, an environmental mycobacterium. Although transmission of M. ulcerans remains poorly understood, the main identified risk factor for acquiring Buruli ulcer is living ...

Environmental Drivers of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Tropical Freshwater Systems

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2026.
In tropical freshwater ecosystems, nontuberculous mycobacterial diversity and distribution is mainly driven by habitat and sample type, and local environmental factors such as sediment texture and depth. These findings highlight the importance of microhabitat conditions over broad biogeographic patterns in shaping mycobacterial communities.

Tropical Plant Extracts Modulating the Growth of Mycobacterium ulcerans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Mycobacterium ulcerans, the etiologic agent of Buruli ulcer, has been detected on aquatic plants in endemic tropical regions. Here, we tested the effect of several tropical plant extracts on the growth of M. ulcerans and the closely related Mycobacterium

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 493-503, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

Spatial distribution of Mycobacterium ulcerans in Buruli ulcer lesions: implications for laboratory diagnosis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Current laboratory diagnosis of Buruli ulcer (BU) is based on microscopic detection of acid fast bacilli, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), histopathology or cultivation.

wIRA: hyperthermia as a treatment option for intracellular bacteria, with special focus on Chlamydiae and Mycobacteria

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2020
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the last century is alarming and calls for alternative, nonchemical treatment strategies. Thermal medicine uses heat for the treatment of infectious diseases but its use in facultative and obligate ...

What is in the Dust? Species‐Level Profiling Reveals Pathogenic and Protective Potential of Microbial Communities in Daycare and Home Environments

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Daycare and home dust predominantly harbour commensal and environmental bacteria; however, a significant proportion remains unclassified, indicating routine childhood exposure to novel microorganisms. Both environments contain species with probiotic and immunostimulatory properties that may confer protection against non‐communicable diseases including ...

Pathways of Mycobacterium ulcerans infection: A review

Environment International, 2006
Buruli ulcer (BU), an often-deforming skin ulceration caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), is now considered by the World Health Organization to be the third most common mycobacterium infection. However, the reservoir of MU in the environment and the epidemiology of BU are poorly understood.

Sero-epidemiology as a tool to screen populations for exposure to Mycobacterium ulcerans [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Previous analyses of sera from a limited number of Ghanaian Buruli ulcer (BU) patients, their household contacts, individuals living in BU non-endemic regions as well as European controls have indicated that antibody responses to the M ...
