Stopping Tuberculosis at the Gate: The Role of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> Adhesins in Infection and Intervention. [PDF]
The global burden of tuberculosis (TB), exacerbated by the rise of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), underscores the need for alternative intervention strategies. One promising approach is to block the infection at its earliest stage—bacterial adhesion to host cells—thereby preventing colonization and transmission without ...

Concomitant immunity to M. tuberculosis infection
Abstract Some persistent infections provide a level of immunity that protects against reinfection with the same pathogen, a process referred to as concomitant immunity. To explore the phenomenon of concomitant immunity during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, we utilized
