Case Report: A New Mycobacterium ulcerans Genotype Causing Buruli Ulcer in Cote d'Ivoire.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium ulcerans, the opportunistic pathogen causing Buruli ulcer, is reported to affect rural populations in 36 tropical countries. We report one case of Buruli ulcer in a peri-urban area in Côte d'Ivoire, confirmed by whole genome sequencing which indicated a M. ulcerans genotype previously unreported in Côte d'Ivoire.
