CITIID Research Highlight: Lalita Ramakrishnan In 2024, an estimated 10.7 million people fell ill with TB worldwide, including a total of 1.23 million deaths. Despite the availability of antibiotics, TB continues to pose a major global health challenge.

Tuberculosis has been with us for centuries, and it is still by far the greatest infectious killer of humanity.

This #WorldTBDay, take a look at Lalita Ramakrishnan's work on how TB bacteria cause the disease, and how we can tackle drug tolerance and resistance to #EndTB.
