Comparative Sequence Analysis of<i>Mycobacterium leprae</i>and the New Leprosy-Causing<i>Mycobacterium lepromatosis</i>

25 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium lepromatosis is a newly discovered leprosy-causing organism. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of its 16S rRNA gene and a few other gene segments revealed significant divergence from Mycobacterium leprae, a well-known cause of leprosy, that justifies the status of M. lepromatosis as a new species. In this study we analyzed the sequences of 20 genes and pseudogenes (22,814 nucleotides). Overall, the...
