Single nucleotide polymorphism typing of Mycobacterium ulcerans reveals focal transmission of buruli ulcer in a highly endemic region of Ghana. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Buruli ulcer (BU) is an emerging necrotizing disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. While proximity to stagnant or slow flowing water bodies is a risk factor for acquiring BU, the epidemiology and mode of M ...

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

Risk factors for Mycobacterium ulcerans infection [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Mycobacterium ulcerans infection (Buruli ulcer) causes necrotizing lesions that may lead to scarring, contractures, osteomyelitis, and even amputation. Despite decades of research, the reservoirs and modes of transmission for M. ulcerans remain obscure.

Clinical Characteristics, Molecular Diagnosis, and Drug Resistance Profiles of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infections: A Retrospective Analysis Using PCR Melting Curve Technology

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging global pathogens. This study aimed to analyze the clinical features, species distribution, and drug resistance profiles of NTM infections in a northern Chinese hospital. A retrospective cohort study included 1769 patients with suspected mycobacterial infection from August 2023 to July 2025.
