// This article describes our transfer of the pMUM001 plasmid from M. ulcerans Agy99 to M. marinumM with the aim of creating a tractable mycobacterium for detailed studies of mycolactone biosynthesis. Unfortunately M. marinumM + pMUM001 does not equal mycolactone-producing mycobacterium as one might have expected. //This article describes the application of comparative genomics to identify a point mutation in a regulatory gene that confers increased resistance to vancomycin on methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus //A commentary on the first isolation of Mycobacterium ulcerans from an insect by the research team of Professor Françoise Portaels // Discovery of the pMUM001 plasmid in Mycobacterium ulcerans Agy99
