Ongoing Genome Reduction in Mycobacterium ulcerans

Ongoing Genome Reduction in Mycobacterium ulcerans

Elucidation of the transmission, epidemiology, and evolution of Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, is hampered by the striking lack of genetic diversity of this emerging pathogen. However, by using a prototype plasmid-based microarray that covered 10% of the genome, we foun...
