Great progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of Buruli ulcer over the last 20 years. The rediscovery of the mouse footpad model of the disease with translation to clinical practice has changed treatment of this infectious disease, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, from surgery and skin grafting to the administration of antibiotics for 8 weeks or less with superior cure rates. Here we describe the development and enhancement of the mouse model during the last two decades.
在过去的 20 年中,人们在了解布吕利溃疡的发病机制和治疗方法方面取得了巨大进展。随着该疾病的鼠足垫模型的重新发现及其向临床实践的转化,导致该病的溃疡分枝杆菌的治疗方法已从手术和植皮转变为 8 周或更短时间内使用抗生素治疗,治愈率更高。本文描述了过去二十年中该小鼠模型的发展和改进。
