Structural biology reveals new opportunities to combat tuberculosis

EMBL Hamburg's Wilmanns and Kosinski groups have determined the detailed structure of a bacterial protein complex critical for tuberculosis infection

(PresseBox) (Heidelberg, )
Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide, infecting about one-quarter of the world’s population. Although it is treatable, the rise of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis poses a major threat to global health security, and has been declared by the World Health Organization as a global health emergency. Reduced access to diagnosis and treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to dramatically increase the number of tuberculosis infections. This will set global efforts to tackle the disease back several years.

Tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a bacterium that infects human lungs and other organs by using rndvzgi yjjdljgfz njgdnnmictk.
