Abstract:
We describe a simple genotyping method for Mycobacterium ulcerans based on PCR amplification of genomic regions between IS2404 and a frequently repeated GC-rich sequence. Application of this method to a global collection produced 10 M. ulcerans genotypes corresponding to their geographic origin.
