  1. MU M. ulcerans, ua unassigned, 0 no amplification; PCR amplification of VNTR-19 was unsuccessful for W2AC and W5ED; PCR amplification of Locus 6 was unsuccessful for W2AC and D2EN; PCR amplification of MIRU-1 was unsuccessful for W5ED; Locus-6 and Locus-19 were the main determinants for a genotype; Genotype E for B2ED corresponds to M. marinum
