Bacteriological follow-up of a primary molecular dapsone-resistant Mycobacterium leprae at CNDL, Niamey, Niger

2026-08-15

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Despite the proven efficacy multidrug therapy (MDT), drug resistance continues to be reported globally. In Niger, the historical period of long-term dapsone monotherapy may explain the emergence and persistence of these resistant strains, challenging the success of leprosy control programs. To address this challenge, this study focuses a long-term bacteriological monitoring. Specially...
