We report the extraction and amplification of DNA of Mycobacterium leprae, from ancient skeletal material. The significance of the extraction of ancient bacterial DNA is discussed, as are future directions of research into ancient disease.
The in situ staining method of Chen (1977) for the detection of mycoplasma contaminants in tissue cultures was tested in cultures of human skin fibroblasts after controlled contamination with Mycoplasma arginini. It is concluded that this method is reliable only at infection rates of 100% or higher,
