multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is defined as a form of TB infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to treatment with at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB drugs, isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RMP).

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria. The bacteria usually attack the lungs but can also damage other parts of the body. Approximately 30% of people around the world are infected with this pathogen, with the majority harboring a latent inf...
Most people with active TB who are treated can be cured. If left untreated, however, TB is fatal 40 to 60 percent of the time. How Does Tuberculosis Spread? When people with active tuberculosis of the lungs or throat cough or sneeze, they spread bacteria through the air. Other people ...
The production of ROS, including superoxide (O2−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is crucial for the phagocytic control of ingested bacteria, fungi and parasites3. Loss-of-function (LOF) variants in genes encoding the NADPH oxidase complex underlie chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inborn...
October 2013 -Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that mostoften affect the lungs. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germsinto the million children (0-14 years) fell ill with TB, and 74 000 HIV-negative children 关键词: Tu...

1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9451 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately one-third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), 5%–10% of whom will develop active disease1 with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (...
For example, rabies occurs in both human beings and dogs but is not readily established as the virus does not ordinarily penetrate healthy skin. Once infected, however, both species are unable to overcome the disease. Marked variations in resistance to infection have been noted between diff...
