Heterogeneous disease progression and treatment response in a C3HeB/FeJ mouse model of tuberculosis
Mice are the most commonly used species for non-clinical evaluations of drug efficacy against tuberculosis (TB). Unlike commonly used strains, C3HeB/FeJ mice develop caseous necrosis in the lung, which might alter the representation of drug efficacy in a

Estimated generic prices for novel treatments for drug resistant tuberculosis [PDF]
Background: Estimated annual incidence of MDR-TB is 480,000, representing 5% of TB incidence, but 20% of mortality. Multiple drugs have recently been developed or re-purposed for the treatment of MDR-TB. Currently, treatment for MDR-TB costs thousands of

Fighting tuberculosis by drugs targeting nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli
Current tuberculosis (TB) treatment requires 6 months of combination therapy with isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), pyrazinamide (PZA), and ethambutol for active TB and 9 months of INH or 3 months of rifapentine (RFP) + INH for latent TB.
