Background The continued advance of antibiotic resistance threatens the treatment and
control of many infectious diseases. This is exemplified by the largest global outbreak of …

The rise of drug-resistant strains is a major challenge to containing the tuberculosis (TB)
pandemic. Yet, little is known about the extent of resistance in early years of chemotherapy …

Tuberculosis (TB) was once a major killer in Europe, but it is unclear how the strains and
patterns of infection at 'peak TB'relate to what we see today. Here we describe 14 genome …

Colonial medical reports claimed that tuberculosis (TB) was largely unknown in Africa prior
to European contact, providing a" virgin soil" for spread of TB in highly susceptible …

Nunavik, Québec suffers from epidemic tuberculosis (TB), with an incidence 50-fold higher
than the Canadian average. Molecular studies in this region have documented limited …

Improved molecular diagnostic methods for detection drug resistance in Mycobacterium
