DNA of <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i> detected by PCR in ancient bone

1994-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract We report the extraction and amplification of DNA of Mycobacterium leprae , from ancient skeletal material. The significance of the extraction of ancient bacterial DNA is discussed, as are future directions of research into ancient disease.
