Bacterial diversity in Buruli ulcer lesions in Ghana

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Previous studies have demonstrated secondary microbial infection of Buruli ulcer (BUD) lesions before, during and after treatment. However, there is limited data on the bacterial diversity across treatment and their influence on clinical outcome. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between bacterial diversity within BUD lesions and clinical outcome in affected individuals.
