Incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis disease in children: systematic review and global estimates.
Setting: The interaction of tubercle bacilli with macrophages is central to understanding of tuberculosis disease.
My thesis research seeks to define molecular mechanisms that contribute to phenotypic drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis disease (TB).

There were just 17,528 cases of active tuberculosis disease reported in the United States last year, down from 18,361 cases in 1998 and fully a third less than the recent peak of 26,673 set in 1992.
Existing immigration medical screening practices in major immigrant-receiving nations were often designed to prevent and manage the importation of contagious, active pulmonary tuberculosis disease.
The remarkable capacity of this pathogen to escape the host immune system for decades and then to cause active tuberculosis disease, makes M.tb a successful pathogen.
Currently, Europe is grappling with rising numbers of tuberculosis disease, including drug-resistant tuberculosis.
However, without proper antibiotic treatment, tuberculosis infection can turn into tuberculosis disease, which causes the aforementioned symptoms and can spread from one person to another through the air, like when a person with tuberculosis disease coughs or speaks.
