Suggests Potential Environmental Reservoirs

, yet the ultimate reservoirs remain elusive. We hypothesized that carbon substrate determination may help elucidating the spectrum of potential reservoirs. substrates were associated with bacteria, 18% with alga, 11% with mollusks and 7% with fungi. environmental reservoirs might be related to micro-habitats where bacteria, fungi, algae and mollusks are abundant. This should be followed by targeted investigations in Buruli ulcer endemic regions
