Glowing molecule can reveal live TB bacteria (post)
A new technique may one day allow fast, simple detection of the bacterium that causes TB, as well as a way to monitor whether drugs are working.
NIH experts call for transformative research approach to end TB (post)
A more intensive biomedical research approach is necessary to control and ultimately eliminate tuberculosis (TB), according to a perspective published in the March 2018 issue of The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. In the article, authors Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and Robert W. Eisinger, Ph.D., special assistant for scientific projects at NIAID, discuss the need to modernize TB research by applying new diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine approaches. The perspective is based on a lecture delivered by Dr. Fauci on Nov. 17, 2017 in Moscow at the first World Health Organization Global Ministerial Conference, “Ending TB in the Sustainable Development Era: A Multisectoral Response.”
New approaches to understanding TB can help inform development of better vaccine (post)
With upwards of 2 billion individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) each year, the infection continues to pose a serious challenge on a global scale. Although advances have been made in the fight against the disease, much is left to be desired when it comes to diagnostic, treatment, and prevention options.

Molecular doorstop could be key to new TB drugs (post)
Tuberculosis, which infects roughly one quarter of the world’s population and kills nearly two million people a year, is not only deadly but ancient: signs of the disease have been found in Egyptian mummies. Despite its age, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes the illness, continues to learn new tricks. It has a particular knack for evolving antibiotic resistance, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with few treatment options.
Scientists find new targets in the war against TB (post)
A new study by Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine scientists unveils a novel approach to vaccine development in the fight against tuberculosis, illustrating how certain host cells are able to either control or promote the growth of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacterium.
