Harvard Scientists Uncover Evidence on How Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Cells Form
New study explains why some tuberculosis cells are more difficult to treat with antibiotics.
A new study led by Harvard School of Public researchers provides a novel explanation as to why some tuberculosis cells are inherently more difficult to treat with antibiotics. The discovery, which showed that the ways mycobacteria cells divide and grow determine their susceptibility to treatment with drugs, could lead to new avenues of drug development that better target tuberculosis cells. The study appeared December 15 in an advance online edition of Science. More...
