Abstract

Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid and is a major cause of cutaneous ulcers in children. Due to environmental reservoirs, both class I and class II H. ducreyi strains persist in cutaneous ulcer regions of endemicity following mass drug administration of azithromycin, suggesting the need for a vaccine.
