Rare Genetic Markers of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Discovered - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

To many, tuberculosis (TB) may seem like a disease from a bygone era. But, as researchers learned during the 20th century, the widespread use of lifesaving antibiotics may have transformed medicine, but bacterial pathogens, like M. tuberculosis, quickly evolv…

Scientists at San Diego State University say they have identified rare genetic markers in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that could improve early detection of drug-resistant strains of the disease, helpi… [+4660 chars]
