TB

This fact sheet provides a detailed comparison of tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimens, encompassing both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB. 

This fact sheet provides basic information on the transmission, symptoms, testing, and treatment of TB.

This report outlines the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' (NIAID) updated strategic plan to combat tuberculosis. It focuses on four key priorities: enhancing fundamental knowledge of TB, advancing diagnostic research, accelerating vaccine development, and supporting strategies to treat and prevent TB.

This webpage discusses the critical role of early testing, diagnosis, and treatment in controlling the spread of tuberculosis (TB) and saving lives. It highlights local efforts to improve TB prevention and care, focusing on the impact of timely intervention on reducing TB transmission in specific communities. 

This article highlights groundbreaking research on tuberculosis (TB) treatment, revealing why a key TB drug remains effective against resistant strains. Rutgers Health researchers uncover the molecular mechanisms that enable this drug to combat TB bacteria, potentially inspiring improved treatments and drug development strategies. The findings emphasize the need for continued research to address antibiotic resistance and enhance global TB control efforts.

This toolkit serves as a comprehensive resource for communities affected by tuberculosis. It offers practical tools and guidance to support TB advocacy, treatment, and care, with a focus on marginalized populations. It also provides strategies for addressing barriers to care, promoting patient-centered approaches, and advocating for policy changes to strengthen global TB prevention and control efforts.

This information sheet provides essential information about tuberculosis (TB), including its causes, how it spreads, and the differences between latent TB infection (LTBI) and active TB disease. It outlines testing methods, treatment options, and the importance of early diagnosis and adherence to treatment to prevent transmission.

This webpage highlights groundbreaking research on tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, which reveals that TB exhibits a consistent growth rate throughout its life cycle, defying conventional bacterial growth patterns. The study uncovers new insights into TB’s survival strategies, emphasizing the need for research directly on pathogens to improve treatment approaches.

This 30-minute podcast was created in recognition of World TB Day. In the recording, Dr. Zelalem Temesgen discusses TB, including information on TB diagnosis and management.

In this 45-minute webinar, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of TB. Topics include modes of transmission, common symptoms, diagnostic testing protocols, treatment regimens, and more.
