Buruli ulcer is a chronic debilitating infectious disease caused by the pathogen , which can be cured if diagnosed and treated in an early stage. However, advanced cases need antibiotic treatment followed by surgical interventions. In this context, an extremely effective and less expensive treatment modality can be developed by means of an extended topical application of certain selected natural clay minerals, most of the time containing illite-smectite having some iron content. There is a scope for developing the speciality, medical geo-microbiology, which is truly a multidisciplinary one, for finding a cure for the severe and advanced cases of BU.
布鲁里溃疡是一种由病原体引起的慢性致残性传染病，如果在早期诊断和治疗是可以治愈的。然而，晚期病例需要抗生素治疗，随后进行手术干预。在这种情况下，可以通过长期局部应用某些选定的天然粘土矿物来开发一种极其有效且成本较低的治疗方式，这些粘土矿物大多含有一些铁含量的伊利石-蒙脱石。发展专业的医学地球微生物学有一定空间，这实际上是一个多学科领域，用于寻找治愈布鲁里溃疡严重和晚期病例的方法。
