Complement activation on different clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains in 10% serum. Clinical strains of 5 MTBC lineages were irradiated and incubated with 10% of normal human serum (NHS) that was preincubated with the different inhibitors and mock controls for 10 minutes at room temperature. Deposition of C3b (A) and membrane attack complex (MAC) formation (B) was measured by flow cytometry after incubation with specific monoclonal antibodies followed by the addition of fluorophore-labeled secondary antibodies. Median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values represent the level of complement activation after background subtraction, which was determined for each strain by negative controls that were processed identically but in the absence of 10% NHS. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments.

Novel insights into early host–pathogen dynamics of #tuberculosis emphasize the importance of considering Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex lineage diversity in understanding the immune response to mycobacterium. Read more: https://ow.ly/Srvj50Yyjkc

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious contagious disease caused by bacteria that typically affects the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. TB spreads through the air when a person with active TB disease coughs, speaks, or sings.

Eliminating Tuberculosis with the Search, Treat, and Prevent Approach for All At Partners In Health, this approach guides our TB ambitions around the world.

✍🏻🔎”The universal access search, treat, and prevent approach is an important part of stopping unnecessary deaths from #tuberculosis …Roughly every 20 seconds, someone dies from TB. Most of those deaths are in low-and middle-income countries, such as ones where PIH works; however, TB is everywhere…”

So TB is back in a big way in the US — 10,388 cases last year, highest since 2011. Four straight years of increases after decades of decline. The mix is rough: reactivated latent infections, outbreaks in shelters and prisons, and federal funding getting slashed right when we need it most. 2025 numbers look even worse. We were supposed to be eliminating this disease, not watching it rebound. https://crowdbyte.ai/topics/deadly-infectious-disease-rebounds-in-us-after-eradication-hopes

WHO recommends new diagnostic tools to help end TB On World TB Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) is urging countries to accelerate action to end tuberculosis (TB) and expand access to lifesaving services by using new innovations such as diagnostic tests that can be used near the point-of-care and tongue swabs that can help detect the disease faster reaching more people.

Over 3,300 people die from #tuberculosis every day.

New @who.int-recommended diagnostic tools could bring faster, cheaper testing closer to patients and help close critical detection gaps.

If this continues, thousands of deaths in the coming years could still be prevented.

Closing this gap means accelerating efforts - from detection and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.
