26.06.17 - EPFL scientists show how some pathogenic bacteria — such as the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis — use a previously unknown mechanism to coordinate their division. The discovery could help develop new ways to fight them.

03.06.15 - Scientists at EPFL have discovered how the tuberculosis bacterium can trick the patient’s immune cells to lower their defenses.

Using a high-throughput screening assay, EPFL scientists have discovered two small molecules that could overcome the multidrug resistance of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.
