A refined low-dose murine model of <i>Mycobacterium ulcerans</i> infection to assess integrated immune networks in Buruli ulcer pathogenesis
2025-04-24
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium ulcerans , the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, is a slow-growing zoonotic pathogen with distinctive pathogenesis linked primarily to its toxin mycolactone. Recent research has shown that the M. ulcerans infectious dose is very low (<10 colony forming units [CFU]). Buruli ulcer animal infection models traditionally use bacterial challenge doses in the range 10 4 – 10 6 CFU; a range orders of magni...
