Grant Activity:
Blocking TB Latency: The Key to Reducing Therapy Duration
Purpose:
One third of the world’s population is latently infected with M. tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause TB. We have identified key processes in M. tuberculosis that enable the bacterium to become inactive within infected individuals. We believe that we can inhibit this TB latency and reduce antibiotic treatment times from 6 months (current) to just weeks. We will further investigate our discoveries to yield vital information for a new paradigm of drug and vaccine development.
