Assessing improved surveillance of leprosy drug resistance in Madagascar: A pilot study in the Miandrivazo district

2026-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> To curb the emergence of antibiotic-resistant <italic>Mycobacterium leprae</italic> strains, the WHO recommends monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Madagascar, molecular surveillance of resistance to anti- <italic>M. leprae</italic> drugs, remains limited geographically and in terms of quantitative data. A clinical trial on leprosy prophylaxi...
