Mycobacterium liflandii. Mycobacterium liflandii, also known as Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. liflandii, was first isolated from a colony of African clawed frogs. This organism causes a fatal systemic disease in frogs often characterized by skin lesions. Mycobacterium liflandii produces a polyketide toxin mycolactone More...E and two highly antigenic proteins ESAT-6 and CFP-10 which account, in part, for its pathogenicity. Less...
