Bioluminscent <i>Mycobacterium ulcerans</i> , a tool to study host-pathogen interactions in a murine tail model of Buruli ulcer

2018-10-03

Abstract excerpt

Buruli ulcer is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans . In this study we used a previously reported strain of M. ulcerans , genetically engineered to constitutively produce bioluminescence, to follow the progression of Buruli ulcer in mice using an in-vivo imaging (IVIS ® ) system. We aimed to characterize a mouse tail infection model for pathogenesis, as well as for pre-c...
