A Genomic Approach to Resolving Relapse versus Reinfection among Four Cases of Buruli Ulcer.

A Genomic Approach to Resolving Relapse versus Reinfection among Four Cases of Buruli Ulcer.

BACKGROUND:Increased availability of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques allows, for the first time, to distinguish relapses from reinfections in patients with multiple Buruli ulcer (BU) episodes. METHODOLOGY:We compared the number and location of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ident...
