New drugs that target ‘zombie’ tuberculosis (TB) cells are now a step closer, thanks to a new study led by the University of Surrey, published in Scientific Reports .

The team also investigated how HIV co-infection impacts TB bacteria entering and infecting cells in the brain. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium ...

What we know, what we miss and why TB persists. In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is both microscopic in size and ...

Postdoctoral fellow Christin (Eun Seon) Chung at the School of Medicine, one of the paper’s first authors, spent three years in a specialized facility equipped to handle high-risk pathogens observing ...

TB's behavior challenges fundamental bacterial biology as it's been thought that ribosomes - which are sites of protein synthesis in the cell - drive cell growth rates, but our work suggests that ...

Current tuberculosis infection tests struggle to detect the disease in those with HIV. A common co-infection, HIV can hide TB ...

Tuberculosis kills 1.6 million a year — the second deadliest infectious disease after COVID-19. Using immune cells and mRNA technology, scientists in South Africa are working on a new vaccine.

The primary transmission route occurs through airborne particles. When someone with active TB coughs, sneezes, speaks, or even sings, they release microscopic droplets containing the bacteria.
