Another #WorldTBDay and so begins another year where #tuberculosis will remain the leading cause of infectious diseases related deaths globally. Let's all remember that TB has not disappeared and we need all hands on deck to #EndTB

🆕 #Tuberculosis, also known as TB, resurged as the leading infectious disease killer in 2023. Approximately 8.2 million people were newly diagnosed with #TB in 2023 – the highest number recorded since WHO began global TB monitoring in 1995 https://t.co/77FMSBRmkr

"In 2023, Tuberculosis (TB) probably returned to being the world’s leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, following 3 years in which it was replaced by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and caused almost twice as many deaths as HIV/AIDS." https://t.co/DwoaVNyRP9

B.C. scientists find wildflower fights drug-resistant tuberculosis

A modified plant compound shows promise as the next weapon in the fight against drug-resistant #tuberculosis. The @SunLabTB from @UBCMicroImmuno modified a compound taken from bloodroot, a native wildflower, to fight the bacteria in vitro. 🧪: https://t.co/i8ve9hDLW3
