溃疡分枝杆菌是一种生长缓慢的环境细菌，可引起布鲁里溃疡（在维多利亚也称为贝恩斯代尔溃疡，在北方昆士兰州也称为丹特里溃疡）。我们描述了两名实验室确诊的布鲁里溃疡患者，他们在新南威尔士州或海外感染。分子流行病学调查表明，虽然一个病例可能是在巴布亚新几内亚获得的，但另一个病例最有可能是在新南威尔士州南部获得的。新南威尔士州获得性溃疡感染。
Mycobacterium ulcerans is a slow-growing environmental bacterium that causes Buruli ulcer (also known as Bairnsdale ulcer In Victoria and Daintree ulcer in northern Queensland). We describe two patients with laboratory-confirmed Buruli ulcer who were infected either in New South Wales or overseas. A molecular epidemiological investigation demonstrated that, while one case was probably acquired in Papua New Guinea, the other was most likely to have been acquired in southern NSW To our knowledge, this is the first case of M. ulcerans infection acquired in NSW.
