Next-generation sequencing technology revealed the existence of more viable but nonculturable bacteria (VBNC) than culturable bacteria (1). Several species in the genus Mycobacterium cannot be cultured, including Mycobacterium leprae. Meanwhile, Mycobacterium haemophilum requires hemin or ferric ammonium citrate for growth in culture (2), although the lack of these components in routinely used culture broths renders M. haemophilum effectively VBNC (3). Both M. leprae and M. haemophilum are frequently present in skin lesions. We and others previously reported that facial lesions in patients with M. haemophilum infection had a leonine facies appearance and pathological findings that could mistakenly suggest leprosy (4, 5). Both M. leprae and M. haemophilum yield positive Ziehl-Neelsen staining on smears but are negative in culture (ie, VBNC), which can result in misdiagnosis of M. leprae (6). Despite the development of regular PCR assays that target the 36-kDa protein of M. leprae (7), these assays can yield false-positive results for M. haemophilum clinical isolates (8). Since the determination of the complete M. leprae genome in 2001, several molecular biological techniques for M. leprae detection have been compared. M. leprae detection by M. leprae-specific repetitive element (RLEP) is the most sensitive assay (9, 10) but nonetheless has a 40% false-positive rate (10, 11), which suggests that infections caused by unidentified, unculturable, or understudied mycobacteria that are closely related to M. leprae could occur (11).Here, we developed a novel multiplex PCR assay of clinical isolates and specimens to differentiate M. haemophilum and M. leprae that cannot be isolated in in vitro culture and might be confused clinically. Using the Mauve software (12) to align wholegenome sequences of M. leprae TN (GenBank accession no. NC_002677) and M. haemophilum ATCC 29548T (GenBank accession no. CP011883) reference strains, we identified unique insertion/deletion (indel) regions and designed specific PCR primers that could allow differentiation according to amplicon size (see Table S1 in the supplemental material).
