Genetic characterization of Haemophilus ducreyi from non-genital skin lesions in Cameroon
This study highlights the need for genetic typing of H. ducreyi strains circulating in the yaws-endemic regions of Cameroon. The developed MLST scheme offered effective strain discrimination and provided valuable insights into their genetic relationships in these areas.
