Abstract
Mycobacterium ulcerans, which causes Buruli ulcer, was exposed to acidified nitrite or to acid alone for 10 or
20 min. Killing was rapid, and viable counts were reduced below detectable limits within 10 min of exposure
to 40 mM acidified nitrite. M. ulcerans is highly susceptible to acidified nitrite in vitro.
