چکیده
|
In recent years,comparative genome sequence analysis of african mycobacterium ulcerans strains isolated from buruli ulcer (bu) lesion specimen has revealed a very limited genetic diversity of closely related isolates and a striking association between genotype and geographical origin of the patients. here,we compared whole genome sequences of five m. ulcerans strains isolated in 2004 or 2013 from bu lesions of four residents of the offin river valley with 48 strains isolated between 2002 and 2005 from bu lesions of individuals residing in the densu river valley of ghana. while all m. ulcerans isolates from the densu river valley belonged to the same clonal complex,members of two distinct clonal complexes were found in the offin river valley over space and time. the offin strains were closely related to genotypes from either the densu region or from the asante akim north district of ghana. these results point towards an occasional involvement of a mobile reservoir in the transmission of m. ulcerans,enabling the spread of bacteria across different regions. © 2016 lamelas et al.
