Abstract excerpt
Madurella mycetomatis is the major causative agent of eumycetoma, a neglected tropical infection characterized by painless subcutaneous lesions, inflammation, and grains draining from multiple sinuses. To study the epidemiology of mycetoma, a robust discriminatory typing technique is needed. We describe the use of a short-tandem-repeat assay (MmySTR) for genotyping of M. mycetomatis isolates predominantly from...
