Battling tuberculosis: Revealing bacterial secrets for new treatments.
Tuberculosis is a formidable bacterial lung disease and the leading cause of death worldwide from a single infectious agent. The bacterium can survive in lung tissues through lengthy drug therapy and become resistant to current antimicrobial drugs.
In this inaugural lecture, Simon Waddell, Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, will reflect on his adventures exploring how these bacteria adapt during infection, and how this information can contribute to the development of new treatments for mycobacterial diseases.
