The strains come from cases of ulcerative mycobacteriosis occurring in Australia, Malaya, Mexico, Uganda and Zaire. They were all found to belong to a single distinct species for which M. ulcerous MacCallum et al., is the correct name and M. buruli Clancey is a later synonym. The species was found to possess the antigens typical of other slow-growing mycobacteria and to have five antigens specific to itself alone.", }
