Efficacy of an acid-oxidising solution (AOS) against Mycobacterium ulcerans .

For the treatment of chronic wounds, acid-oxidising solutions (AOSs) with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity without disturbing granulation tissue formation, have been developed. We found AOSs to efficiently kill Mycobacterium ulcerans , the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, which is able to survive harsh decontamination treatments. Topical AOS treatment of Buruli ulcer lesions may support the recommended antibiotic therapy (oral rifampicin and clarithromycin), prevent contamination of the environment by the mycobacteria, and control secondary infections, which are a prevalent wound management problem in resource-poor Buruli ulcer endemic settings.
