It does not appear as though this group has added much to this article, so I am just going to give suggestions for what they should work on as they progress in their revision. The lead has good concise language, but it does not have enough information, as there are many topics in the article that are not even mentioned in the lead- it would be good to work on this and ensure that the lead is a good overall summary of the article. The article would benefit from reorganization of the content sections: "Pathogenesis" should be further down with epidemiology, symptoms, treatments; "medications" could be under treatment rather than having two separate sections; "evolution" is listed as a subsection of "genome" as well as its own section, and this should be reconciled for a better flow. The tone of the article is neutral and objective. In terms of content to add, the group could look for the mechanisms behind the medications in regards to their effect on the bacterium itself under "treatment", add information regarding M. leprae's interactions with itself (how do they associate?) as well as other types of bacteria (does it have antibacterial properties for other species?) and other organisms (we know it causes disease, but does it have any other symbiotic relationships?). The article mentions that it has a slow replication rate - maybe the group could also add a replication section. I see in the sandbox a source related to its metabolism and storing of resources- this would be a great addition to the article! In terms of the sources, none of them are linked/cited correctly, but they all appear to be reliable. Overall, this group has not made the article more complete yet, but there is a lot of potential to do so.
