Graphical Abstract
  • ulcerans, which exhibit cytotoxic, immunosuppressive and analgesic properties. As the virulence factor of M. ulcerans, mycolactones are central to the pathogenesis of the neglected disease Buruli ulcer, a chronic and debilitating medical condition characterized by necrotic skin ulcers. Due to their complex

  • ulcer Buruli ulcer is a chronic and debilitating disease characterized by skin ulcers and necrotic cutaneous lesions. Ulcers typically occur at the limbs and can extend to 15% of the skin surface if untreated. The disease is caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium ulcerans and represents the third most

Graphical Abstract
  • diseases such as leprosy, evoked by M. leprae, or buruli ulcer, due to infection by M. ulcerans [3][4]. In addition, numerous nonpathogenic and facultative pathogenic mycobacteria exist. Although several diagnostic measures have been developed for TB diagnosis [5][6], most of these techniques are expensive
