Abstract excerpt

Standardized antimycobacterial therapy is considered the treatment of choice for Buruli ulcer disease. To assess the prevalence of drug resistance among clinical Mycobacterium ulcerans isolates in Ghana, we conducted a sequence-based approach to detect mutations associated with drug resistance. W...
