The pathogenic slow-growing Mycobacterium ulcerans has, until now, been cultured in liquid media containing albumin. Here, we report the first description of use of Sauton medium and modified Reid medium, two protein-free media, in which M. ulcerans was able to grow and produce its toxin, a major virulence factor of this environmental organism which causes a skin disease commonly called Buruli ulcer. These results suggest that Sauton and modified Reid may be useful for certain fields of M. ulcerans research requiring protein-free growth conditions.
