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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transmission of tuberculosis requires close, prolonged contact with someone who has active TB disease. "It’s not transmitted casually by fleeting contacts,” says Schaffner, adding that it's ...

As was the case for most infectious diseases, tuberculosis cases fell in 2020, reaching 193 in a year characterized by a wide-ranging stay-at-home order and other transmission-reducing practices ...
