A team of scientists led by the University of Southampton has taken an important step forward in research efforts that could one day lead to an effective vaccine against the world’s deadliest infectious disease.
Tuberculosis (TB) kills more people than any other infection, with an estimated 1.7 million people worldwide dying from it every year. The airborne disease is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, but despite 20 years of intense global efforts no effective vaccine has been developed.
For more information on the study, please see the news release on the University’s website.
