Fig. 1 Detection of Mycobacterium leprae from nasal swabs targeting the RLEP region. PCR amplification of the RLEP region of Mycobacterium leprae obtained from nasal swabs. PCR product were electrophoresed on 2% agarose gel. Lane NC: negative control. Lanes 1–3: samples. Lane PC: positive control. Lane ladder: 100-bp ladder.
