This article examines the transmission mechanisms of tuberculosis and provides evidence-based prevention strategies. Tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through the air when people with active ...

For their new study, Nathan and Bourouiba focused on transmission of tuberculosis, from the perspective of the bacterium itself, to investigate what defenses it might rely on to help it survive ...

The team’s results, appearing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could provide new targets for tuberculosis therapies that simultaneously treat infection and prevent ...

The findings provide new targets for tuberculosis therapies that could simultaneously treat infection and prevent the spread of bacteria. Until now, very little was known about this transmission ...

like tuberculosis, are lurking around the corner. And our best shot at defeating them is to continue supporting measures to stop their transmission, both here at home and abroad. Lyndon Haviland ...

Such a reduction, he said, could significantly curb tuberculosis transmission, as people with latent infection can’t spread the bacteria. A 2022 WHO report estimated that a 50% effective TB ...
