Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that often involves the lungs but can affect any part of the body. Untreated it is often fatal and TB kills an estimated 1.3 million people every year. The World Health Organization estimates there are 12 million TB patients in the world and in the UK nea...
Bacteria that cause tuberculosis trick immune cells meant to destroy them into hiding and feeding them instead. This is the result of a study led by researchers from NYU Langone Medical Center and published online April 18 in Nature Immunology.
Mycobacterium abscessus, a relative of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and leprosy, is responsible for particularly severe damage to human lungs and can be resistant to many standard antibiotics, making infections extremely challenging to treat. However, there is hope. Bacteria are vulnerab...

Sensors to sniff bacteria: biosensors can detect everything from shoe bombs to the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis. Can they also detect food-borne pathogens lurking in industrial-scale batches?(ENGINEERING R&D)(Electronic Sensor Technology Inc.)(dialogue with Marlene Stewart)(Interview)Higgins, ...
Later, Sir William Hale-White reported upon occasional patients with severe ulceration of the colon not due to tuberculosis, typhoid fever, or malignant disease. The origin remained obscure, however, and he felt this condition should not be confused with bacillary dysentery.2 Since these first ...
The researchers analyzed the immune response in mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause TB. They compared a strain that is resistant to all first- and many second-line antibiotics with a drug-sensitive strain of TB. ...
Viruses aren't alive; they can only grow and reproduce inside of the host cells they infect. Bacteria are living organisms. Both viruses and bacteria can get you very sick, but most bacteria are harmless and many are helpful.
