Responses to chemical cross-talk between the Mycobacterium ulcerans toxin, mycolactone, and Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract Buruli ulcer is a neglected tropical disease caused by the environmental pathogen, Mycobacterium ulcerans whose major virulence factor is mycolactone, a lipid cytotoxic molecule. Buruli ulcer has high morbidity, particularly in rural West Africa where the disease is endemic. Data have shown...
