The picture shows the granuloma structure and distribution of the antibiotic BTZ-043 in four differently stained tissue sections of two tuberculosis granulomas. The stains show the necrotic granuloma centers, connective tissue capsules, immune cell layers and the accumulation of BTZ-043 in the entire granulomas.

🔥 Breakthrough in TB research! The antibiotic BTZ-043 reaches hard-to-treat granulomas and fights bacteria even in necrotic tissue. This is a major step toward more effective TB therapy! 🚀🦠
