Genetic map of tuberculosis opens door to new treatments
Original: Comprehensive genetic map offers new hope for tuberculosis treatments
Researchers have produced a comprehensive genetic map of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, a step that could speed the development of new drugs against a disease that still kills over a million people a year. The map catalogues the pathogen's genes and their functions, giving scientists targets to attack and helping explain drug resistance. Health researchers say the work could support treatments for resistant TB strains.
Why now: Tuberculosis remains a major global killer with growing drug resistance, so new genetic research on it attracts attention
